PHILMONT ADVENTURE ITINERARY
Philmont Scout Ranch
High Adventure Trip 2022
This exciting itinerary will get us to the highest peak on Philmont Scout Ranch, and enjoy a nice variety of history and exciting programs to boot!
We start our trek with a short hike through Ponil to Bent Camp, where the Ranger will pass on valuable skills. We head up the South Ponil Creek, where a train and logging trucks once traversed over 100 years ago and join the loggers of the Continental Tie & Lumber Co. for some railroad tie making as we head to Baldy Skyline Camp. We then make our way up to historic Baldy Town and visit the museum and try our hand at assaying before settling in for a night of rest.
We wake up early to begin our loop up to the summit of Baldy Mountain and enjoy the tremendous 360 degree views. We then continue our circle down to Copper Park and into French Henry and explore Lucien Maxwell’s best gold producing Aztec Mine. Do a little blacksmithing before making our way back around to Baldy Town to reflect on your amazing day!
Our last full day takes us to the Mountain Man Rendezvous at Miranda, where we'll get hands on lessons with tomahawks and muzzle loading rifles. The next morning we will make our way to the Trailhead for our bus pickup and the journey back to Base Camp where we can
share your stories and experiences with Scouts from all over!
