| 2024 description: 'Sweep across Philmont’s mountainous south country in this adventure-filled trek! Start your trek by hiking through Clarks Fork
on your way to Ponderosa Park for Ranger Training. The next day, head up and over Shaefers Pass, where you can side hike
the 9,350 ft. Shaefers Peak before making it to Miners Park for some rock climbing and rappelling excitement! From there,
hike up the beautiful North Fork Urraca Creek to Black Mountain camp to learn blacksmithing and marksmanship skills from
the soldiers at this post Civil War encampment. Then, it's off to Beaubien for branding, roping, and horseback rides. The
hearty chuckwagon dinner, a cowboy campfire, and views of one of the most beautiful meadows at Philmont are all sure to
please! After your layover, your journey will bring you through Phillips Junction for a resupply of sustenance, then onward to
the homesteading family living at Crooked Creek. Help them tend to their animals and enjoy their rustic home before making it
to Comanche Peak to rest for the night, as you will need your energy to conquer Mount Phillips the next day! Once on top of
Mount Phillips, views of the Moreno Valley, Wheeler Peak, and Baldy Mountain will leave lasting memories for your crew!
Camp at Clear Creek with the Rocky Mountain Fur Co. for some muzzle loading rifles and tomahawks before hiking down
through the scenic Tolby Meadows and down to the Tolby Trailhead, enjoying tremendous views the entire way. Next stop…
