| 2024 description: 'From the ancient waters of the Rayado River to the prehistoric Tooth of Time, this itinerary has it all! Your bus will travel along
the old Santa Fe Trail and drop you off at the Zastrow Trailhead where you will hit the trail into Philmont’s beautiful South
country. After training the crew, your Ranger will escort you from the musical waters of the Rayado River at Abreu to Crater
Lake. There, you’ll be drawn into the mystique of the Continental Tie & Lumber Co., especially during the evening campfire.
Next, make your way over Trail Peak to pay respects to the bomber crew that crashed in a B-24 Liberator on this site in 1942.
Then, head up the gorgeous meadows to Beaubien, one of Philmont’s Western Lore camps. Here your crew will get to
experience horseback rides, a hearty chuckwagon dinner, and a campfire show that is not to be missed! The next two days will
go deeper into Philmont’s wilderness where you will enjoy the beauty of Crooked Creek during your visit to the homesteading
family there. Your next day can be a big one, so be sure to get some rest at Comanche Creek! Make your way to the Rocky
Mountain Fur Co. at Clear Creek and learn about the fur trapping industry, then get ready to tackle Mt. Phillips! (And if you
are up to it, side hike Comanche Peak.) Take a load off and camp at Red Hills before making your way down to the Post Civil
War Encampment at Black Mountain Camp. Here you will learn how to blacksmith, shoot muzzle loading rifles, and enjoy the
serenity of camping along the North Fork Urraca Creek. Continue to be inspired by the beauty of this canyon and make your
way down the North Fork Urraca Creek. Be sure to fill up your water before your ascent to Shaefers Pass camp. Your last
day climb Shaefers Peak, traverse along Tooth Ridge, and make a dramatic summit atop the legendary Tooth of Time. Finish
the descent back to Philmont Base Camp, and a victory ice cream at Base Camp!' |
