Here’s an idea we came up with for Memorial Day weekend: Individuals, couples, or families can head up to the Mt Washington Valley on Saturday May 29th, taking their time, enjoying the ride. Once they arrive they can check in to one of the numerous hotels in the area (call us for a recommendation). The rest of the afternoon is spent shopping, checking out some local points of interest, etc., followed by dinner or take out from one of many of our area’s restaurants. On Sunday morning, the 30th — this is where we get involved — they sneak out early and take a night hike with Redline Guide Samantha Fairfield up to the summit of Black Cap. The purpose of this moderately-paced hike is to be on the summit around the time of sunrise. Not to see the sun coming up, Black Cap isn’t ideal for that, but just to be up there in the awesomeness being led through a slow flow yoga session followed by some hot tea and some meditation with the hope of setting the day’s intentions. Once done the participants would hike out with Samantha and then carry on about their weekend of relaxing, adventuring, a bit of both or whatever they choose.
