Welcome to the Virtual Philmont section of my Philmont Journal. To the casual user, perhaps one of the most intriguing things about computers today is the ability to generate three-dimensional models of places and things. Virtual reality (VR) software enables us to go places and "see" things that might otherwise prove difficult to reach. So, I turned the electronic eye towards Philmont.

With VR software tools working from real topographic data, we are able to take you on a virtual trek.

• The Tooth of Time Morning, Edge of Base Camp
• The Tooth of Time Sunset, Edge of Base Camp
• Tooth of Time Sleeps, Moonlight on Edge of Base Camp
• Mt Baldy from the Trail
• Mt Baldy Sunset

• Glider Flight Around the Tooth of Time:
  This is a 1.2 MB Windows AVI movie. You might need a plug-in to view it, so I recommend just saving it to disk for later viewing if this is the case. This file is too large to be offered on the server, and is only available on the CD-ROM version of this web page.

• Virtual Hike Over Baldy, movie (0.9M AVI file)
  Manual address:

  If you look carefully, you can see Baldy Town, Copper Park, and French Henry.

• Virtual Philmont: Around the Tooth of Time, movie (Better, 3.0M AVI file)
• Virtual Philmont: 3D Tooth of Time Sunset, movie (Better, 1.1M AVI file)
