How many days and nights is a crew actually on the trail versus while they are touring?
The Patriots’ Path contingents spend two days and two nights traveling to and touring southern Colorado. On the third day, the contingents will travel to Philmont, which is considered Philmont Day 1. They will spend the night in Base Camp and then 11 days and 10 nights in the backcountry. On Philmont Day 12 they will return to Base Camp and spend the night. All crews will travel back to New Jersey the following day. The entire trip is a total of fifteen days – three traveling/touring and twelve at Philmont.
