| 2024 description: 'his program packed itinerary loops through the Philmont North Country and combines high peaks and beautiful vistas with
Southwest history. The adventure begins with a bus from Base Camp to the Six-Mile Gate Trailhead and a short hike to
McBride Canyon Camp, where your Ranger will pass on important skills. Get up early the next morning to summit Hart Peak,
then drop down into the North Ponil Canyon for a quick stop at Indian Writings where you will see Ancestral Puebloan
petroglyphs. Then, listen for the echo of the mauls striking spikes as you make your way to Metcalf Station to learn what life
was like on the railroad. You’ll help rebuild the old rail line and enjoy great music and stories at the evening campfire
program. The next day you will be rewarded with a chance to do some horseback riding, roping, and branding at Ponil. Enjoy
a cold and refreshing root beer at the cantina, chow down on a delicious chuckwagon meal and prepare to be entertained at
the evening Cantina Show! Head down the South Ponil River to the Continental Tie and Lumber Co. at Pueblano where your
crew can climb spar poles and make rail ties before enjoying yet another amazing campfire performance. Your next two nights
will be at Azurite, where you will have a layover and prepare yourself with rest and reflection before your ascent of Philmont's
highest peak. But first, you’ll have the opportunity to pass through French Henry to pan for gold and tour the Aztec Mine at
French Henry. Rest up at Azurite and rise early for your Baldy Summit and a stop at the old mining community at Baldy Town
for a taste of history and food resupply. Climbing to the top of the 12,441 ft. Baldy Mountain is sure to be the highlight of your
Philmont adventure! Your next day is just a short hike to Miranda where you will have plenty of time for muzzle loading rifles,
tomahawks and the Fur Trapper rendezvous. Your final hike brings you to the Maxwell Trailhead for your trip back to Base
Camp. What a trek!' |
