Discover the wonder of "Scouting's Paradise" and the thrills and excitements of Colorado

Philmont Scout Ranch provides an unforgettable adventure along its hundreds of miles of rugged, rocky trails. Program features combine the best of the Old West-horseback riding, burro packing, gold panning, chuckwagon dinners, and interpretive history-with exciting challenges for today-rock climbing, burro racing, mountain biking, and rifle shooting-in an unbeatable recipe for fast-moving outdoor fun.

Some of the Blue Sky Adventures Tour consists of a visit to the United States Air Force Academy, Climbing Pike's Peak, and white water rafting down the "Royal Gorge" section of the Arkansas River.  It doesn't get any better than this before the amazing Philmont Trek.
