Cimarroncito
Staffed Camp
Elevation 8,156 ft
Description
Cimarroncito is located in a broad valley. Most of the campsites are north and west of the main cabin. All are excellent. The rock climbing and rappelling are up the ridge to the east of camp.
Activities
Rock climbing, rappellling, and bouldering. Rock climbing and rappelling are extremely weather sensitive: thunderstorms will close down the entire operation. Generally, earlier in the day is more reliable. Showers are generally available.
Water
Purified water is plentiful.
Nearby Camps
Hunting Lodge is just over a mile to the south.
Trails
Head north through Aspen Springs to Ute Gulch Commissary for food pickup, or bear south through Hidden Valley and Window Rock for one of the best hikes at Philmont. South goes to Hunting Lodge and either Clarks Fork (south) or Cyphers Mine (west). Northwest heads toward Sawmill Canyon.
