[Philmont] Rough Trails on Mt. Phillips

 
 
 
One big advantage of the "old hard trail" is the view. Many of the
components of the plane are spread along the old trail. If you take the easy route,
you will miss many of these items from the aircraft.

You make a good point, Gregg. In 2002, we hiked up the old trail to
Trail Peak. This trail is rocky and straight up the mountain. There
is something to be said for the effort it takes to reach a mountain
peak, especially one that is a memorial to the WWII training flight
that crashed there. We took the new easy graded trail down the
mountain back to Baubien. I don't think there would have been the same
sense of accomplishment if we had taken the new trail up to the peak.
Don't get me wrong, I am not advocating steep rocky trails everywhere -
let's just not make the entire Philmont experience a walk in the woods.
