PHILMONT SCOUT RANCH, BSA
2012 PHILMONT ADVENTURE ITINERARY
Itinerary Number 10
Challenging (maximum program time) - 63 miles
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!
