Re: [Philmont]: Trek 24?

No seriously confusing trails as I can remember, however:
       On the last day coming down from the Ridge, we did check our maps
several times to make sure we were on the correct trail (on the first major
switchback, it appears as if you are going back towards Baldy; don't worry, it'll
switch back soon)
       We did conservation at Pueblano; it was a hike, but it was better
than doing it at Dean Cow where we would have been working in the burnt-out
areas.
       Best event according to our crew: Pueblano campfire. It was well
worth the night-hike back to camp; play Logger-ball there if you can. Other
highlighted events: Rich cabins (everything), Dean Cow climbing, and the Horse
rides (take a camera) at Clark's Fork (visit me if you go to CF; I'll be on
staff there). Great campsite at Ute Springs for the layover day. At one of
the sites, there is an enormous rock living room there with table and recliners.
       One last caution: One thing none of us had been told was how far the
side-hike to the Tooth was. As a result, only one of us took water and only a
couple took hiking sticks. Its pretty steep, so don't expect it to be a ten
minute roundtrip.

If you want any specific locals for things, our navigator did an excellent
job accurately recording and storing campsites, intersections, etc. on the GPS.
Email if you would like any of them.

Good Luck
