2024 description: 'This challenging North Country itinerary will take you to Philmont’s highest point and get you great program opportunities
along the way. You will start your trek off at Ponil Trailhead before hiking on to Sioux for the night. The next day you will hike to
Pueblano where you will visit the loggers at Pueblano to learn logging skills with the Continental Tie and Lumber Co. and to
experience their company meeting that night for a great musical experience. Be sure to stop at French Henry to explore the
Aztec Mine or do some gold panning! Pass through Baldy Town for resupply and a taste of the unique mining history found
there as you make your way to Touch Me Not Creek for the night. Get a good night's rest so you will be ready for the following
day’s summit: Baldy Mountain at 12,441 ft. above sea level. After your day of conquering Baldy, it's early to bed, early to rise,
so you can get down to the Fur Trapper Rendezvous at Miranda before hiking to Baldy Skyline where you will get a great view
to reflect upon your accomplishment the previous day. After spending the night at Baldy Skyline, pass through Head of Dean
and work with the facilitators to conquer some of their challenge course events. Next, you will hike to Upper Dean Cow for a
peaceful night on the trail. The next day you will head to Cimarroncita where you can try out some 3D Archery and the Laser
Shot shooting range. It's a short hike the next day to the Ute Park Trailhead for your bus pickup and trip back to Base Camp!' |
