Latest Update (Nov 20, 2009)
 
I've added a Philmont message board. You can find it here.
________________

I've created a new section for maps and uploaded a high-res scan of the Philmont Map, take a look here. I'll be uploading the higher-detail sectional maps once I have an up-to-date set.

The site can now be reached at www.philmontexplorer.com

For those of you joining the Oklahoma Last Frontier Council 2010 contingent: I've updated the LFC Trek calendar with all the currently known activity dates. Scroll down on the calendar page to load future activities.

My name is Joseph Hyman. I'm an Eagle Scout, associate crew advisor for Venture Crew 67 of Choctaw, Oklahoma, and a Philmont nut. You can see some of my Philmont photography over at Panoramio and Picasa.

This site began last year as a project to make trek selection easier for our local Philmont contingent. Since then its been growing into an all-in-one Philmont resource. This is a work in progress; I'll be improving the design and adding more information whenever I can.

You can browse through all of the itineraries by clicking the 2009 Itineraries link on the left. You can also use the search box at the upper right to search through the itineraries. Currently you can search for campsites, major peaks, itinerary difficulty level, and staffed camp programs. For example, searching for "Baldy Ponil" will show all treks that include climbing Baldy and camping at Ponil.

Have a question, comment, suggestion, or something you'd like to put on the site? Shoot me an email at thephilmontexplorer@gmail.com.
