Re: [Philmont]: sleeping bag rating for Philmont

I would consider 20 degree bag if you want to have one bag and have it for
when you return to your other camping. If you want a second bag, get a 30 or
40 degree and bring long underwear, light gloves and wool hat just in case
you need it.

YMMV, but that's my .02 !
