Redline Guiding’s Participation in the Fun…
We were invited by the Chamber to offer a couple of hikes that the general public could join as Outdoor Fest events. Though we’ve been encouraged to remind all visitors that in addition to these organized hikes, during this time we can offer even more activities on a private basis. Classes like Wilderness Navigation, ascents of the 6288′ Mt Washington, or any 4000-Footer or 52 With a View peak, and much more. Please be sure to check out our Adventure and Educational offerings. Now, without further ado, here are our Outdoor Fest group offerings:
