Venividi 35 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Philmont offers a shuttle service from the AMTRAK station in Raton. Details and pricing will be included with your Philmont materials. The cost was $20 per person when I went. Link to post Share on other sites
GernBlansten 10 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 While we were at Philmont, there was a charter bus company who was taking scouts to Albq airport and I assume Raton. Don't have the name, but I bet a call to Philmont can get you it. Link to post Share on other sites
John-in-KC 311 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 http://www.scouting.org/highadventure/philmont/hikers/companies.aspx http://www.ldsbsa.org/pdf/philmont%20acceptance/2008%20Your%20Trip%20&%20Arrival%20Plans.pdf From both these documents, it looks like the PSR schoolbusses will pick you up from and deliver you to Raton... Call the Ranch to confirm PM me too. I assume you will board AMT 3/4 at KC. True? Link to post Share on other sites
CNYScouter 46 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I have been looking at attending PTC this summer. there is also a charter bus company than runs a daily shuttle between Colorado Springs airport and Philmont (Gray Line Colorado). I think they also run a shuttle from the Denver airport also. From Colorado Springs airport: The travel time is approx 3 1/2 hrs each way. The shuttle departs COS Airport at approx 3:00 pm each day, arriving at Philmont at 6:30pm (non-stop). The departure out of Philmont each morning is 6:00am arriving at COS Airport at 9:30-9:45am each morning, and the cost is $95 ea way or $190 roundtrip per person. Link to post Share on other sites
Ohio_Scouter 10 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 When our crews went to Philmont in 2007, the Philmont bus from Raton to the ranch was $30.00 per person (round-trip, I think.). Link to post Share on other sites
eisely 13 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 We utilized this service in 1995. It works very well. When we arrived in the afternoon from Albuquerqe (sp?) the bus showed up dropping off other crews heading home and picked us up. When we returned home the bus dropped us off but did not stick around to pick anybody up. Apparently they were not expecting any new arrivals on the southbound train that morning. Philmont only charged us $5.00 per head for the trip, but that was a long long time ago. Link to post Share on other sites
