Compare 2022 Trek 7-17 to 2021 Trek 7-17


2022 description: 'This itinerary's adventure begins at the historic Cimarroncita Ranch camp, before heading deeper into Philmont's North Country! Here your crew will learn about hunter safety practices and get to try out various scenarios in the new laser shooting range, then your Ranger will continue your backcountry camping skill training in your campsite at Cimarron River Camp. Head up Bear Canyon the next morning to see Santa Claus and enjoy the learning opportunity that comes with reloading empty shotshells, then go to the range to fire your rounds! Hike further into the north country to meet the staff at Head of Dean, who will work with your crew on some challenge course and team building exercises. You'll bed down for the night at one Philmont's newest trail camps, Ringtail. This meadow offers tremendous views of Baldy and Touch-Me-Not mountains, so be sure to soak them in! Get your rest for your conservation project early the next morning at Baldy Skyline and then move on to Baldy Town. Enjoy the history of this former gold rush boom town, learn about assaying ore samples, grab your trail food, and head to another brand new camp. Black Horse Mine Camp is situated at a former mining site and offers the perfect staging spot for a shorter hike to Baldy's summit the next morning. After celebrating the conquering of Philmont's highest peak, make your way down to the fur trappers and their rendezvous at Miranda. Shoot muzzle loading rifles, throw tomahawks, and learn about the goods and wares the trappers have for trade. The next morning is a short hike to the Maxwell Trailhead where you will load up and head back to base camp. Enjoy the ride and share your favorite memories made on the trail!'
