Starting with the time-honored Philmont tradition of burro packing, this itinerary becomes a mountain climber's delight. After climbing Baldy Mountain, you will proceed south to hike some of Philmont's other major peaks including Mt. Phillips, Big Red, Black Mountain, and the Tooth of Time. Much of this itinerary will be spent hiking and enjoying the remote wilderness. Time permitting; you may participate in mountain man rendezvous, black powder rifle, Continental Tie & Lumber Company, western lore, including branding, and gold mining and panning. This trek will challenge even the most seasoned backpacker.
