2012 PHILMONT ADVENTURE ITINERARY

Itinerary Number 10

Day Camp Program Features Food Pickup

This Valle Vidal itinerary will enable you to see an incredible assortment of wildlife, enormous grass filled vegas, healthy ponderosa pine stands, and rugged mountains to the north of Philmont. You will also have the opportunity to let pack burros carry a portion of your gear! Start your trek with thought provoking initiative games and challenge course events that will bring your crew together. From there, you will help our staff with a search and rescue at Seally Canyon, visit the historic Ring Ranch, and ride some of the best mountain biking trails in northern New Mexico. You will also have the unparalleled opportunity to preview your Baldy Mountain ascent from the meadow on the north end of McCrystal Creek. Make your way south back to Philmont in time to review all of the ground you have covered from Baldy’s northern ridgeline and peak! Visit French Henry and explore Lucien Maxwell’s best gold producing Aztec Mine and historic Baldy Town. Shoot booming .50 caliber black powder rifles and pick up burros at Miranda. Drop off your burros and cap off your trek with Cowboy Action Shooting, boot branding, roping, a chuck wagon dinner, cantina show, horse rides, and a cowboy breakfast at Ponil!
