The Rocky Mountain Council based in Pueblo has a unique high adventure program that combines two days of white water rafting down the Arkansas River and three days in the mountains; with the options of backpacking treks, a Fourteener Challenge, mountain biking or ontinental Divide day hikes. These adventures are based out of the Packard High Adventure Base located in the northern Sangre De Cristo Mountains. This is a one week summer program that must be registered for early in the season, so the council can plan for staff, food and equipment. How the get there: Take US 50 to Poncha Springs. Turn south on US 285 about .5 mile (cross the South Arkansas River bridge); the Hot Springs Road posted as CR115 turns off to the east. This road is paved for a short distance before the pavement ends. Continue on CR115 until you reach base camp; the road to base camp is steep.
