Re: [Philmont]: Any sight of the '05 Itinerary Guide

Philmont keeps the stats, and I'm sure Calvin or Alan can provide them
for last year. However, as you've already heard, many/most of the treks
are about to undergo some changes, so there's not too much point in
worrying about it now for 2006. You can make a very solid guess any
year, however, that the most popular treks will be those that are
moderate to strenuous in difficulty level, climb Baldy, and come in over
the Tooth of Time.
