2022 description: 'Looking for a trek that follows rushing streams, discovers mountain meadows, and traverses lofty peaks across Philmont’s
South Country? This is it! You’ll be dropped off at the Zastrow Trailhead before camping at the newly reopened Line Camp for
the night. Next, hike over to the incident command staff at Carson Meadows and join in on a simulated search and rescue
mission that will challenge your crew to work together. From there, enjoy the hike to Crags through the Notch and be one of
the lucky few to sleep at the bottom of Rayado Canyon. Stellar views of Rayado, Crater, and Lookout Peaks will be seen from
the trail on your way to Fish Camp where you will get to tour Waite Phillips' Rayado Lodge at the confluence of the Agua Fria
and Rayado Creeks. Enjoy the hike up the Agua Fria to the beautiful meadows of Apache Springs. The next morning, learn
about the Jicarilla Apache and shoot 3-D archery targets before setting off through some amazing elk habitat at Garcia Park on
your way to Wild Horse Park for the night. The fur trappers of the Rocky Mountain Fur Co. await you at Clear Creek with their
tall tales and tomahawk throwing competitions. Spend a night on the trail at Comanche Creek before swinging down to
Beaubien for roping, branding, horseback rides, a chuckwagon dinner, and cowboy campfire. Hike over to Lookout Meadow
and enjoy the views that helped the camp earn its’ name! Don’t forget to visit Crater Lake and the loggers of the Continental
Tie & Lumber Co. as you make your way to Miners Park for some rock climbing and rappelling. Your final challenges await
you…Shaefers Peak and the Tooth of Time!'
