Philmont is a national camping area, owned and operated by the Boy Scouts of America. Philmont is large, comprising 137,493 acres or about 215 square miles of rugged mountain wilderness in the Sangre de Cristo (Blood of Christ) range of the Rockies. 32 staffed camps and 50 unstaffed camps are operated by the ranch. Philmont has high mountains which dominate rough terrain with an elevation ranging from 6,500 to 12,441 feet.

We are Crew 610-J on Trek #22

This trek is enhanced by a night at Philmont's highest camp, Mount Phillips, and a two day layover at Beaubien. While camping at Fish Camp you may tour Waite Phillips' fishing lodge and fish for trout in the Rayado River. Other programs offered are gold mining and panning, blacksmithing, Rocky Mountain Fur Company and black powder rifle. Enjoy rock climbing at Miners Park where you will spend your last night before trekking over Tooth of Time Ridge and into Base Camp.

Departs from Camping Headquarters for your Starting Camp on Day 2 to Turkey Creek Turnaround.
