Itinerary Number 29 2013 PHILMONT ADVENTURE ITINERARY Strenuous (hiking with some program time) - 82 miles This Valle Vidal itinerary will enable you to see an incredible assortment of wildlife, enormous grass filled vegas, gorgeous ponderosa pine stands, and rugged mountains to the north of Philmont. Start off by seeing the world’s only confirmed T-‐ Rex track and tour the fascinating petroglyphs left by the ancient Ancestral Puebloan people prior to 1300 AD at Indian Writings. From there, your crew will help the Seally Canyon staff with an important search and rescue mission before hiking to Ring Place for astronomy and folk weather forecasting. Work on a trail project with our Conservation Department and ride some of northern New Mexico’s finest mountain biking trails at Whiteman Vega. Be sure to take an unparalleled opportunity to preview Baldy Mountain from the north meadow of McCrystal Creek. Make your way south towards Philmont and camp at Greenwood Canyon for the night. Review all of the ground you have covered from Baldy’s northern ridgeline and peak when you return to Philmont. Visit historic Baldy Town and explore Lucien Maxwell’s best gold producing Aztec Mine at French Henry. Climb spar poles and cut railroad ties at Pueblano with the Continental Tie and Lumber Company. Your crew is sure to be entertained at their Company Meeting Campfire. Continue on to Ponil for Cowboy Action Shooting, branding, roping, a chuckwagon dinner, cantina show, horse rides, and a cowboy breakfast at Ponil! Test your rock climbing and rappelling skills at Dean Cow. Then reflect on the program, beautiful scenery, and fellowship with your crew as you hike to the Turkey Creek Turnaround.
