| 2024 description: 'This exciting itinerary will enable your crew to explore Philmont’s South and Central Country. Begin your trek by hiking across
the Rayado River, through Abreu for a quick visit with the Abreu family and a root beer, and then up to Old Abreu for continued
training from your Ranger. Head upstream and take a break at the entrance into Rayado Canyon, otherwise known as 'The
Notch' and enjoy the wonderful views of Rayado, Crater, and Lookout Peak while hiking to Fish Camp to see Waite Phillips’
Rayado Lodge. Learn to tie flies and fish the same waters that our great benefactor loved so much. Proceed on alongside the
Rayado Creek north to Phillips Junction for resupply, then up to Beaubien for the night. Brand your boots, learn how to rope,
and enjoy a hearty Chuckwagon dinner before the Cowboy campfire! Your next day has you conquering several peaks, so get
some rest! You'll start the day hiking over Bonito Peak and Big Red as you make your way to Comanche Peak Camp. You
are close to Mt. Phillips, so you can work in a side hike to Philmont's second highest peak if you like! The next day enjoy the
hike through Cyphers Mine as you meander downhill alongside babbling creeks and then down to Waite Phillips’ other favorite
retreat at Hunting Lodge and spend some time exploring the Demonstration Forest and Cimarroncito Reservoir. Hurry to
Clarks Fork on your last morning to enjoy some western lore activities and join in on a trail ride. Have fun, but don’t miss your
afternoon bus at Webster Trailhead!' |
