| 2024 description: 'Your journey through the North and into the Central Country of Philmont starts where it all began...Ponil! Take the bus to
Philmont's original base camp and grab a quick root beer before heading to Bluestem camp so your Ranger can continue your
skills training. Head to the Continental Tie and Lumber Company at Pueblano for an introduction to logging skills and spar
pole climbing. Their Company Meeting Campfire will be something to behold as well! The next morning you will make your
way into Philmont's historic mining area. Pass through French Henry and take a tour of the Aztec Mine, pan for gold, and get
to work in the forge! After striking it rich at French, get up to Copper Park for some rest so you can rise early in the morning for
your Baldy summit. Pack up early, hang your bear bags, and conquer Philmont’s highest peak! You can enjoy your lunch on
the summit, then head back down to Copper Park to grab your gear and pass through historic Baldy Town and then hike on to
Head of Dean to enjoy some team building exercises and challenge course elements together as a crew. The next morning,
you'll make the long journey to Cimarroncita to make preparations to hike through the 2018 Ute Park Fire burn scar. Pass
through Sawmill for some training on the .30-06 rifle shooting and reloading programs, and rest up at Whistle Punk Camp.
Your journey continues through another historic mining area at Cyphers Mine, down to one of Waite Phillips' rustic cabins at
Hunting Lodge and then over to Clarks Fork. Enjoy some roping and branding and get ready for an awesome campfire
program that will be sure to entertain you on your last night in the backcountry. A big final day is ahead of you as you rise
early to get ready to conquer two peaks in one day: Shaefers Peak and the iconic Tooth of Time. March triumphantly into
base camp after an amazing journey...you all made it!' |
