[Philmont]: Re: Tooth Ridge at Sunrise

Bert writes...

First trip to Philmont in June. We are going on trek #21. Any comments on this trek would be appreciated.

and Kirk responded...

I did 21 in 2000 and 2002.

<snip> Seeing sunrise from Schaefer's Peak is just as impressive, though I realize it isn't talking about it afterwards. <snip>

I would also recommend sunrise from Shaefer's Peak.
Besides the safety aspect of not hiking the Tooth Ridge trail in darkness, you will hike it in early part of day when the sun is very low and provides some dramatic lighting. You can still be into base camp by noon.
