Description
One of the many activities offered to thousands of Scouts each summer at one BSA's 4 high adventure camps.
Rock climbing at Philmont can be found in three locations: Miners Park, Cimarroncito, and Dean Cow. All climbing is supervised by Philmont rock climbing staff.
Getting There
From Denver or Colorado Springs:
Go south on Interstate 25 to Raton, New Mexico. Four miles south of Raton take Exit 446 onto Highway 64 and drive about 40 miles to Cimarron.
From Albuquerque:
Go north on Interstate 25 about 200 miles to Springer, New Mexico. Three miles north of Springer, take Exit 419 onto Highway 58 and drive about 20 miles to Cimarron.
From Taos:
Stay on Highway 64 toward Angel Fire (east of Taos). You travel through Taos Canyon, Eagle Nest, and Cimarron Canyon, to reach Cimarron.
Once in Cimarron:
When you reach Cimarron, turn south on State Highway 21 and drive approximately 4 miles to Philmont Scout Ranch. As you enter Philmont, you will see several buildings before you reach your destination; these buildings are other parts of Philmont Base Camp, such as the Administration Building.
Look for the brown Philmont Training Center sign near mile-marker 4, and turn left onto Orchard Circle. The Villa Philmonte, the Mediterranean-style home of the Phillips family, is located on the grounds of the Philmont Training Center and will serve as a guide to those arriving by car.
