Let Blue Sky Adventures make your Philmont trip special!

Don’t just land in the Southwest and head straight to the trail—make the journey part of the adventure.

You’re coming all this way to Philmont—why not take a little extra time to explore the epic sights, soak in the culture, and bond with your crew before the big trek? With Blue Sky Adventures, you’ll experience the best of the Southwest—not just drive through it.

Think whitewater rafting, ancient cliff dwellings, Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak, hiking, climbing, and plenty of unforgettable stories. Our professional guides don’t just point things out—they bring the region to life with fun, history-packed storytelling your Scouts will actually enjoy. (“Scouting is a game with a purpose,” after all—and our tours are the perfect mix of both.)

Plus, a few days at elevation before hitting the trail? Huge win. It helps your crew adjust, reduces the risk of altitude issues, and makes those first few Philmont miles way more manageable—especially for the adults.

From start to finish, Blue Sky takes care of the logistics—meals, lodging, transportation, and all the planning headaches—so Advisors can focus on the good stuff: building crew dynamics, developing youth leadership, and making sure everyone’s ready for the backcountry.

Let us handle the details. You handle the adventure.
