RE: [Philmont]: Trek Information

I saw dates of 2003 on some of the hikes. It could be a mixed bag. But I
also have heard, from a PSA person, that much of the north country,
primarily the fire affected treks, will be revamped this year. Basically,
any prior year has just as much chance to be wrong as any other.

I do not believe it is from 2003 or earlier. The website refers to the 2002
Ponil Fire Complex. so it must be later than that date. I do not believe it
is from 2003. We took Trek 24 in 2003. Day 2 was spent at Dean Cutoff, not
Bent. Day 11 was spent at Clarks Fork, not Upper Clarks Fork.

I too ran across that information recently, and quickly realized that it was
not current. Just looked closer, and the trek I looked at (17, which has
changed most years recently) shows that actually it is 2001.

Comment...

The "Itineraries in Brief" descriptions are from 2003 (again, look at 17 and
19), except that the TREKS 2003 wording "2002 Ponil Fire Complex" (like
David wrote above) is "2002 Ponil Complex Fire" on the website, like the
wording in TREKS 2004.

However, the links to the detailed descriptions of the camps and programs
for each day on the trail (at least the couple I checked) are the routes for
2001.

In other words, it is a mixture of at least three different versions of
TREKS.
