[philmont] Trek 9 just retruned.

We were also on Itinerary 9 and took the same route to Baldy. They crew
stopped just outside of the tree line and had a cool snowball fight. One
crew member even built a small snowman! Our trek was 623 M1
 
Walking up the ridgeline, I felt like I was in the Sound of Music! The
views were Awesome!

Thanks,
 
The new trail is well marked as additional post indicate. If you are
leaving Copper park and going up the switchbacks once at the top the trail
is to your left. It is marked with rock caroms. It is somewhat steep
until you get to the top of the ridge then it follows the ridge line to
Baldy. Great views. I really enjoyed the option vs the old trail that is
directly up the face of Baldy.
 
If you are coming from Greenwood Canyon it is on your right at the low gap
before you proceed down to Copper Park. There are 17 switchbacks from the
Gap down to Copper Park. The old trail is blocked off and not to be used.
 
We left Copper Park at 7:00 a.m., stopped and had breakfast at the gap and
then proceeded to Baldy. We arrived on top by 10:00 a.m. Estimated time
you should allow is 2.5 to 3 hours.
