New Offering! We’re proud to annouce natural and historic guided tours in the White Mountain region. You may have already heard about our up-and-coming June 10th Alpine Garden Tour, but you probably didn’t know that was just a hint of things to come. The Alpine Garden, as you now know, is but just one guided tour option. We now also offer the following naturalist-led tours: Alpine […]
We enjoy telling folks about what our guides are up to when they’re not guiding or instructing a course. We can only share some. They are way too active for us to get into detailing the day-to-day runs, climbs, and hikes they do, even though many are surely noteworthy. The bigger stuff, however, we try to make the time for. As such, one on our guides, […]
This event is full. New registrants will be moved to a waiting list. Introducing The first ever Franconia Ridge Run and Shoe Demo presented by La Sportiva and Redline Guiding. Join us for a fun day of running along the stunningly beautiful Franconia Ridge led by La Sportiva Mountain Running Team member and Redline Guide Kristina Folcik and second Redline Guide Ryan Welts. Make new friends, […]
We’re wicked excited to introduce two new offerings here at Redline Guiding. The first, a new Adventure, is mountain Trail Running, and second is its natural Educational counterpart, a Trail Running Intro course. Both offerings will be led and instructed primarily by Redline Guides, runners Ryan Welts and Kristina Folcik (a.k.a. DangerGirl, La Sportiva Mountain Running Team member). For those with knowledge of this sport already, […]
Rich Page, possibly known more widely as The Gear Doc for his beloved North Conway gear repair and fabrication business, has actually been with us since early spring and has guided on Mt Washington under the Redline Guiding banner. We’ve been slow to put it out there, is all, but here is it. Please give a nice big welcome to our newest Redline Guide, Rich Page. […]
Back in March we introduced a new Redline Guide, Ryan Welts, when he joined the team. In passing we mentioned his wife, Kristina Folcik, was also an accomplished athlete. Little did we know at the time that a little while later Kristina would hope to join forces with Redline Guiding herself excited by the prospect of working together. We have welcomed her with open arms, obviously. […]
In a very recent blog post we mentioned that we will gladly guide folks to myriad places… including the New England Hundred Highest peaks. That’s what Redline Guide Ken Hodges was doing just yesterday. Ken was leading a custom tour for a gentleman from Maine, Bob, who is working on that list. Specifically, Redline Guiding is helping him with the trailess summits on that list — […]
We offer guided Presidential Range traverses, as well as traverses along the Franconia Ridge, on the Mahoosucs, over the Kilkenny, through the Sandwich Range, Squam Range, or across any rocky or wooded spine in the White Mountain (or Lakes) region. We will even help you do the incredibly tough “Pemi Loop,” help you bag your 48, your 52, your 67, your 72, even guide you to […]
Do you know what’s cool about guiding? We love what we do. Inasmuch that when we’re not working, we still hike and recreate in the great outdoors. This differs from many jobs where one avoids the whole scene unless being forced to go to work. Our guides want to hike! And not just hike — they crush! Let’s take a small glimpse into this season. There […]
We now have a few Redline Guiding performance t-shirts available for those who love the color red and want to flash our brand, so to speak — there’s a logo over the left breast. The shirts are Ultra Club’s “Cool and Dry” series and they fit and feel great. No cotton here because, well, you don’t want to be caught dead in one of those things. […]
Congratulations to Redline Guiding Mountain Guide Ryan Welts for completing his schooling and earning his Wilderness First Responder (WFR) certification. Since protecting our guests and others we may lead by being ready to meet their basic emergency medical needs in the mountains is critically important (and a requirement before leading), we are extremely pleased to be able to make this announcement. The schooling is tough but […]
Be driven to the top of New England and enjoy low-key mountain adventure that simply cannot be experienced anywhere else. Take a tour of Mt. Washington’s beautiful and world famous Alpine Garden! Rare plants bloom on the Northeast’s highest peak for just a few weeks every year. Learn about the ecology of the alpine zone and the history of the mountain on a full-day tour with […]
