The hike to our campground was short, only .9 miles. We camped at the Cimarron River trail camp. Upon arrival at the camp, we learned how to hang bear bags and set up our dining fly. This is something that we would do at every campsite for the rest of the time at Philmont.
After getting the camp setup, it was time for "fresh" water. By fresh, I mean out of the Cimarron River. After filling our water bottles, we had to treat the water with micro-pure tablets and wait for 30 minutes.
We sat around the campsite and got to know our ranger better. He then cooked dinner for us.
Overall, a great day in camp.
