| 2024 description: 'Take a trip back in time with this itinerary that is chock full of unique programs and relics from the past! Start your journey
through this timeline after getting off the bus at the Six Mile Gate Trailhead for a visit to the first confirmed T-Rex track in the
world. Look for other fossils and footprints as you head upstream to Indian Writings where you will tour the fascinating
petroglyphs left by the Ancestral Puebloan people prior to 1300 CE and work on an archaeological dig to discover more clues
of their activities on Philmont property. Continue up the North Ponil Canyon to link up with the Cimarron & Northwestern
Railroad at Metcalf Station. Work on the railroad, do some blacksmithing, then enjoy their nightly campfire program. As you
make your way to Bluestem the next day, you'll pass through Ponil where you will be taken back to the old west! Try your
hand at branding and roping, then reward yourself with a cold root beer in the Cantina before heading to camp for the night.
The next morning you will head to Pueblano, taking you back to the early 1900s, where the loggers of the Continental Tie &
Lumber Co. will teach you how to use crosscut saws or a broad axe. Pass through Baldy Town and setup camp to stage your
Baldy Summit from Black Horse Mine Camp. After summiting Baldy Mountain and taking in the views, stop at Miranda where
you will be transported to 1838 and the fur trapper rendezvous. Shoot muzzle loading rifles, throw tomahawks, and be regaled
with the many tall tales the trappers will share with you before your final destination at Maxwell Trailhead on your final morning
so you can meet your bus for your trip back to Base Camp.' |
| 2023 description: 'Looking for a trek that follows rushing streams, discovers mountain meadows, and traverses lofty peaks across Philmont’s
South Country? This is it! Hone your Philmont camping procedures with your Ranger before camping at Old Abreu for the
night. Hopefully you enjoyed a cold root beer as you hiked through Abreu! Get up bright and early the next day so you can
help at the incident command post at Carson Meadows with a search and rescue mission that will challenge your crew to work
together. From there, enjoy the hike through the Notch and enjoy the stellar views via this hike along this canyon. 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 and learn about the Jicarilla Apache and shoot 3-D archery targets before setting off to Beaubien
for roping, branding, a chuckwagon dinner, and cowboy campfire. A big day is ahead of you as you make your way over Trail
Peak and pay your respects to the crash site of a B24 Liberator. Don’t forget to visit the loggers of the Continental Tie &
Lumber Co. for some tie making as you head to Miners Park for some rock climbing and rappelling. Another challenge awaits
you...Shaefers Peak and the Tooth of Time! Celebrate your accomplishment as you watch the sun set while you stay at Tooth
Ridge Camp. You can look to the South and see your next destination...the haunted Urraca Mesa for your final night on the
trail. Complete their challenge course events and enjoy their evening campfire as the staff regale stories of the eclectic history
of this landmark! Your last morning on the trail can be enjoyed on Inspiration Point, before you make your way up and over the
mesa to the Zastrow trailhead and your bus ride back to Base Camp!' |
