Description:

Get ready for the adventure of a lifetime!

Start preparing for your 2018 trek at Philmont Scout Ranch. Philmont provides opportunities to climb mountains over 2 miles high, hike hundreds of miles of its rugged, rocky trails and visit several of the 35 staffed camps and 55 trail camps.  This class covers essential equipment, hiking safety, physical conditioning, and all questions raised by participants.  Plus you’ll learn about some great places to shakedown for the real deal. Open to everyone 12 years of age and older; class size is limited to the first 30 who register. Sorry, no group reservations. Participants under 18 must be accompanied by their parent or legal guardian. No pets please. Wear sturdy shoes and weather-appropriate clothing; bring water (1 liter per person), and a snack if you like. Meet by the main Visitor Center. Reservations required and will be accepted through noon Friday January 5, 2018. To register, please go to http://friendsofgovernmentcanyon.org/events. For more information, e-mail reservations@friendsofgc.org or call (210) 688-9055; ext. 2009. Natural Area entrance fees apply; program subject to cancellation.
