It would be a good idea to carry enough dry socks so that you always have a
dry pair
each day of the trek, no matter what happens weatherwise or otherwise.
These
socks should be carried in something waterproof, like a large ziplock bag,
so no matter
what happens to the pack they stay dry. Two pairs for each day is a good
plan. I admit
this is a lot of socks. The alternative is to wash and dry socks as you go
along.

Socks that take care of your feet are a key to having a successful (and
comfortable :-) )
Philmont Trek.
