Welcome! This page was created by a Philmont staff member for the enjoyment of Philmont staff and others.

You can click on the dots on the map above to go on The Hike, or do a hikein from Beaubien to Porky, or from Cito to Car-Max.

Since just looking at pictures is boring, here are some games:

  • Alien hunt! (Random searching, minimal thinking.) For a possible UFO sighting, find Alex A. He will give you a clue on how to find the aliens. You don't need to know him, just randomly look for the picture which has a clue below it.
  • Where is the Ranger sign? (Some knowledge of Philtrivia required.) Such pranks are wrong, and the sign must be found. A logical place to start looking is at the R.O. Start the search by clicking on the picture of the Ranger Office, then follow the clues.
  • Pudgee time. (Good knowledge of Philmont backcountry locations necessary.) The Rangers at Shaefers Pass want to pudgee, but the pudgee materials can't be found. Help them out by starting here.
  • Solutions to games
