RE: [Philmont]: Philmont Tour Guides

We got quotes from Leading the Way last year but decided to go through
Albuquerque instead as the airfare was cheaper than Denver or Colorado
Springs and we used Blue Sky. Pricing from both was about the same and
only a few dollars per person more than I could have done booking all
the stuff myself. Well worth a few dollars a person to have someone
else worry about it. Blue Sky brings most of their crews through
Albuquerque but they did some large contingents through Denver/Colorado
Springs this year.

Either way (through Albuquerque or Colorado Springs) offers some nice
touring options before getting to Philmont.

Subject: [Philmont]: Philmont Tour Guides

I hoping that I can get some help from the Philmont list.

So far the only Tour guide that has returned our request for information
is Blue Sky Adventures.

 Does anyone have any knowledge of Leading the Way Tours? They haven't
returned any of our emails or phone calls and it would be nice to know
if they are still in business.

Does anyone of the list know of any Tour Operators that are still
specializing in Boy Scout Philmont Treks, other then the above two?

I have read about crews coming on trains, renting vans and the advisors
driving them and so far in my opinion it's best if an someone else is
taking care of the logistics so the Advisors are spending quality time
with their crew.

I would appreciate any word on the subject.
