Double H High Adventure Base
Started in the summer of 2004, the Double H High Adventure Base is Philmont
Scout Ranch's newest program. Located on the Torstenson Wildlife Center
in Datil, New Mexico, the Double H is over 100,000 acres of rugged
wilderness.
Seven-day backpacking programs give crews the freedom to hike without trails.
A Wilderness Guide (Double H staff member) accompanies the crew for the entire
trek. Programs provided at the Martin (backcountry) Camp and the Wilderness
Guide include geocaching, GPS navigation skills, challenge/team building events,
black powder shooting, archery, astronomy, conservation projects, search &
rescue, and more.
The Adventure is Yours to Make!
