Hit the Trail

Up at 6:00, breakfast at the Base Camp dining hall, Crew Photo, hang out a bit, weigh our packs ( 40 - 50 pounds) and leave at 10:30 via school bus to our starting point.

Short hike into Lover's Leap camp site. Jared teaches us the Philmont basics. Land navigation, Bear Bags, cooking, cleaning, and about general survival along the trail.


Hiking at Philmont is an education.


If it smells, then it must go up.


The "Red Roof Inn" is a nice place when that certain need hits you.
