About

PhilTrek is an invaluable resource for past and present Philmont 12-day, 9-day, or 7-day trek information. Developed to assist in the selection of an ideal itinerary by filtering the complete range of itineraries down to a manageable list based on the crew's preferred program activities or locations.

Each itinerary includes the standard descriptive information, with visualization of trails and camps on a live map including an interactive elevation profile. Multiple itineraries can be overlaid on a single map to compare. Contingents with multiple crews can determine rendezvous locations and overlay the itineraries that meet at that location to assist in selection.

PhilTrails provides detailed information about each trail segment including a live map of the trail, starting and ending elevations, the minimum and maximum elevations covered, the trail segment length, and an elevation profile.

Premium access to PhilTrek and PhilTrails adds the ability to download paths, camps, and trails in kml format for use in many GPS applications.

Philmont Legacy is a sister-site which documents the Philmont Staff legacy boards created by the seasonal staff of Philmont Scout Ranch.

Welcome to Build-a-Trail

This premium feature provides the ability to select multiple trail segments and create a single path from them.

To use this, select a trail segment in the main list to the left, then select the Add Segment icon Add to copy it to the Build-a-Path list below. Trail segments can be re-ordered in the Build-a-Path list by highlighting a trail segment and selecting the Move Up icon Up or the Move Down icon Down. A trail segment can be reversed by highlighting it and clicking the Flip Direction icon Flip. And a trail segment that is no longer needed can be removed using the Remove Segment icon Remove. There is a limit of five segments that can be combined into a single trail.

When you have added and organized the trail segments as desired, click the button to generate the path. The combined path can then be downloaded using the button.
