  • Things to Do in Cimarron
    Things to Do In and Around Cimarron History abounds in the Cimarron Territory. When you are in the Philmont backcountry you will be introduced to the spirit of the pioneers - the homesteaders, the miners, the loggers, the adventurers, the cattlemen, the outlaws, the ranchers, the lawmen, ... oh, so much history. But also at Base Camp (Camping Headquarters) there is much to do and see. Yes you must allocate time to spend in the biggest BSA Trading Post you ever saw, the Tooth of Time Traders, but don't miss the other outstanding possibilities. Near Camping Headquarters - Villa Philmonte, Seton Library and National Scouting Museum In Base Camp, take advantage of every spare moment. Don't miss the opportunity to take the outstanding tour of Villa Philmonte, the Phillips family's summer home. The Villa tour, about an hour long, is about all you can expect to do on the trailbound end of your trek. Should you not be able to squeeze this in on your first two days, it is a must when you are back in Base Camp and homebound. Check with your Ranger on Day One about making Villa reservations for your crew the afternoon of Day 1, the morning of Day Two (if you have an afternoon bus) or the afternoon of Day 12 after you come off the trail. You can also make the reservation yourself for your crew at the Philmont Museum across the road from the Camping Headquarters Welcome Center. It would be a real shame if all did not get to see and hear the story of our benefactors, Mr.
