2013 PHILMONT ADVENTURE ITINERARY<br />
Challenging (maximum program time) - 63 miles<br />
This program intense trek follows rushing streams, discovers mountain meadows, and traverses lofty peaks across<br />
<strong>Philmont</strong>’s South and Central Country. You will start your trek with a gorgeous sunset at Toothache Springs. You will then<br />
be able to stop by Abreu for a cool root beer before hiking south to Carson Meadows to help our staff with a search and<br />
rescue mission that will require your crew to work together. You will then hike west to the Notch, overlooking both Rayado<br />
and Bonito Canyons. Stellar views of Rayado, Crater, and Lookout Peaks will be seen from the south side of Rayado<br />
Canyon. Enjoy fishing the same banks of the Rayado and Agua Fria Creeks as Waite Phillips. From there, your crew will<br />
spend two days in some of the most pristine country the southwest has to offer at Apache Springs. You will learn about the<br />
Jicarilla Apache and test your bow and arrow skills on our lifesize 3-D targets. Working on a trail project with our<br />
Conservation Department will be a rewarding experience near Buck Creek. Then, the hike to and stay at Wild Horse is<br />
guaranteed to be memorable, as it is one of our most beautiful trail camps. Next, booming .50 caliber black powder rifles<br />
and mountain men await you at Clear Creek before the challenging hike up Mt. Phillips. Your hike will be challenging, but<br />
seeing the sunset over Wheeler Peak and the Moreno Valley will be an unparalleled reward. From there, climb over<br />
Comanche Peak and Big Red on your way to Comanche Pass. Enjoy gold mining, panning, blacksmithing, and The Stomp at<br />
Cypher’s Mine before climbing several new routes at Cimarroncito. Visit the Hunting Lodge, Demonstration Forest, and<br />
Clark’s Fork before ascending the Tooth of Time on your way into Base Camp!<br />
