About

Plan for Philmont is a resource built by Philmont Seasonal Staff Members for those getting ready to hike the trails at Philmont!

Planning ahead is the most important thing that you can do before you arrive at Philmont, and we want to make sure that the preparation stage of your Philmont trek is as smooth and as easy as possible.

Our staff has served at Philmont as Back Country Staff, Rangers, and Base Camp Staff, and these unique experiences  allow us to create the definitive guide to your Philmont Trek. We are an independent website from Philmont Scout Ranch, and so the views expressed on this website may not be the same as those of Philmont. However, we will share our own, personal knowledge, experiences, and advice on everything from gear to itineraries, in the hope that it will make your trip to Philmont a little less daunting.
