| 2024 description: 'This rugged South Country itinerary sees it all and will push your crew to the limits. After starting out at Zastrow Trailhead,
you’ll spend your first night at Line Camp continuing your Ranger Training before enjoying the beautiful hike through Rayado
Canyon on your way to Crags the next night. You'll pass through Fish Camp and soak in some Waite Phillips history. You'll
end that day’s hike at Apache Springs where you get to experience the activities of the Jicarilla Apache, 3D archery, sporting
arrows, a sweat lodge, and the sunset meadow hike to cap off a great day. Get up the next morning to head up to Beaubien for
some Western Lore action! Enjoy a Chuckwagon dinner and enjoy the Cowboy Campfire to end the day. The next day will
take you to the homesteaders at Crooked Creek where you will see how they live off the land and take care of their livestock.
Head out early the next morning as you make your way towards Philmont's second highest peak and a chance to side hike
another at Comanche Peak. The sunrise on Phillips is not to be missed, so be sure to enjoy it before leaving to experience life
as a fur trapper working for the Rocky Mountain Fur Co. Get a trapping talk at their cozy cabin and try your hand at some
tomahawk throwing with some friendly competitions among your crew. Though the last day on the trail is long, the journey
down to the Tolby Trailhead is gorgeous and will allow you to enjoy magnificent panoramic views of Wheeler Peak, the tallest
peak in New Mexico. Get your cameras ready! Keep heading down this scenic route, where you will be picked up by your bus
at the trailhead. Next stop… Base Camp!' |
