night on the trail at Lovers Leap Camp before hiking to Miners Park to enjoy rock climbing and rappelling. Visit the Continental
Tie and Lumber Company at Crater Lake on your way to spend the evening on the edge of the glorious Lower Bonito Meadow.
Tour Fish Camp to discover why Waite Phillips enjoyed spending so much time there before you head to Lost Cabins. The
next morning, pick up food and learn about the Jicarilla Apache at Apache Springs and try some 3D Archery. From Apache
you will head to the off the beaten path homestead at Crooked Creek. Check out the cabin built by hand and help take care of
the various animals and important daily life tasks. Your next morning takes you to Wild Horse Creek for the night. Next, be
sure to visit the Rocky Mountain Fur Co. before climbing Mt. Phillips and camping below the peak at the highest trail camp at
Philmont. The next day, hike to Cyphers Mine to tour the historic Contention Mine and enjoy the evening Stomp. In the
morning you will head down Cimarroncito Creek to see one of Waite Phillips’ other beautiful cabins, then pick up food at
Cimarroncito. If you have time, check out the climbing gym and traverse wall before making your way to the newly reopened
Webster Park sites. Get up early the next morning to complete one of the requirements of the Arrowhead Award by working
with the Conservation team on your project before leaving camp. Make your way to the Demonstration Forest, then off to
Clarks Fork for roping and branding, and then top the day off with a chuckwagon dinner and a cowboy campfire. Get up early
for your final challenge- Shaefers Peak and the Tooth of Time! Hike victoriously into Base Camp – You all made it'
