| 2023 description: 'This itinerary explores Philmont’s lovely northern canyon country. While most north cavalcade itineraries ride out of Ponil,
crews on this itinerary bus to historic Chase Ranch on the morning of day 2, circle ride, and ride out from Chase Ranch on day
3. While at Chase Ranch headquarters, crews have the option to tour the house at headquarters and learn about ranching in
Northern New Mexico starting in the frontier days. Day three is a 6.3 mile ride up beautiful Chase Canyon to Chase Cow Camp
where the program is rock climbing. There are also historic structures there from the days when cowboys drove cattle through
this country. From there, the ride up to Metcalf Station over the canyon tops is a vista-filled ¬¬¬¬ride on day 4. At Metcalf
Station, crews lay over and participate in a conservation project at Indian Writings, where the programming includes a
petroglyph tour and archaeology. Programming at Metcalf includes blacksmithing, historic railroading and an evening campfire.
On day 6, the crew will ride over more scenic canyon tops to Dan Beard on Philmont’s northern border. Dan Beard camp
offers challenge course programming. Day 7 brings a ride into more wooded and mountainous country as the crew rides
across the Elliot Barker Wildlife Area and Wilson Mesa to Pueblano camp back on Philmont. Pueblano offers programming
with the interpretive Continental Tie and Lumber Company including spar pole climbing and lumberjack programming, with a
renowned evening campfire show. Day 8 brings the crew 5 miles down the South Ponil canyon along the South Ponil creek to
Ponil camp where they participate in the gymkhana competition at the end of the cavalcade.' |
