| 2023 description: 'This trek offers a good mix of program along with some longer hiking days. Start your trek with a bus ride to Webster Trailhead
and a short hike to Arrowhead for Ranger training and your first night on the trail. Hike with a visiting forester through the
Demonstration Forest, try your hand at fly fishing in the Cito Reservoir, and tour the cabin at the Hunting Lodge. Make your
way to Sawmill the next day for 30.06 reloading and shooting. Wake up early for your hike across the 2018 Ute Park fire burn
scar where you’ll be able to observe the results of this wildfire on Philmont property. At Cimarroncita, enjoy the hunter safety,
3-D archery, and new laser shooting range programs. Head into Baldy country to Baldy Skyline, stopping along the way at
Santa Claus for a hydration break before going to Head of Dean for challenge course activities. The next morning you are off
to Baldy Town for resupply and a quick tour the museum before heading to Black Horse Mine Camp, where you will want to
get a good night’s sleep as you prepare for your ascent of Baldy Mountain from this new trail camp. Spend a little time
celebrating at the highest point on Philmont Scout Ranch before heading to Miranda to visit the fur trapper rendezvous and
through some tomahawks. Move on to your trial camp, exploring a beautiful new trail camp in a never-before-touched part of
the backcountry, called Touch-Me-Not Creek. Take some time near the creek to ponder the flowing water and your crew’s
long journey. A quick hike to Maxwell Trailhead the next morning and a longer bus ride will bring you back to where it all
began.... Base Camp!' |
| 2022 description: 'Sweep across Philmont’s mountainous south country in this adventure-filled trek! Start your trek by hiking through Clarks Fork on your way 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 and 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 Creek 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… Base Camp!' |
