Re[2]: [Philmont]: Planning Experience

Charlie,

Just a comment for others planning a trek.
We did the mountain biking / north country last
summer (Trek 15) and the boys really loved it.

The Valle Vidal was by far their favorite campsite & program activity.
We had 2 days there and they went riding 3 times.

Having done both a north and south/central trek, I personally liked the
hiking and scenery in the Valle more.
