Another group from Massachusetts reached out looking to do some mountain snowshoeing with us — lucky beneficiaries of the great timing of getting some recent cover like our last party did. On lead for this trip up the 2557′ Mt Pemigewasset located at the southern end of Franconia Notch was Redline Guide Ryan Mcguire.
Ryan led the group of four up the mostly empty Mt Pemigewasset Trail, sticking to a simple half-day out-and-back. That mountain was chosen because our guests were staying near Loon Mountain, they had a half day to spend with us, and they wanted some great views. We knew what to do! So we delivered the goods. The temperatures were on the warm side in the thirties, Ryan reported, and the sun peeked out a couple of times. The winds, he said, were light with exception to a brief snow squall at the summit making things interesting in a smile-inducing way.
Not a bad morning for a hike. Here are a handful of photos from Ryan.

Some of that predictably unpredictable mountain weather. Cool scene!

Congratulations team for the summit. Another fine lead, Ryan — well done. Thank you for choosing Redline Guiding.
