| 2012 description: 'Beautiful peaks, luscious valleys, and exciting program fill this Central and South Country trek. At Harlan, your crew will learn how
to reload shotgun shells before practicing their marksmanship at our scenic shooting range. Breathtaking views of Black Mountain
and Cimarroncito Peak await you at Deer Lake Camp. From there, the cool hike up Grouse and Sawmill Canyons will let you focus
on the wildflowers and aspens instead of the heat! At Sawmill, our world class .30-06 reloading room and shooting range is
guaranteed to be a highlight of your trek. At Comanche Peak Camp, an unparalleled sunrise from anywhere on the ranch awaits
you bright and early before tackling Mount Phillips. From Phillips, views of the Moreno Valley, Wheeler Peak, and Baldy Mountain
will make you forget all of your worries. Next, you’ll shoot black powder rifles and follow Rayado Creek all the way to Phillips
Junction. Horse rides, a chuck wagon dinner, and cowboy campfire await you at Beaubien. Hike Trail Peak, then head for Carson
Meadows where you will assist our highly trained staff with a search and rescue mission. Cap off your trek with geocaching, a
Dutch oven dessert, and the “Rededication to Scouting” ceremony at Zastrow.' |
| 2011 description: 'The views are incredible from the two 10,000 ft. peaks that you cross on this exciting itinerary. It also offers lots of "never to be forgotten" programs early in the itinerary such as 12-gauge shotgun shooting and reloading, rock climbing at Cimarroncito, and .30-06 rifle shooting and reloading at Sawmill. Visit
the Rocky Mountain Fur Company outpost at Clear Creek and an 1860's homestead at Crooked Creek on your way to Philmont's great western lore camp at Beaubien. Search and rescue skills are taught at Carson Meadows before your crew spends their last night at Zastrow where you will participate in a very moving "Rededication to the Values of Scouting" ceremony.' |
