We’ve offered photographic services for our mountain weddings for quite some time, but we just expanded that service to include our other offerings. Whether you’re finishing a list or just starting out, we can document the occasion with some pro-level photos. Or maybe you’re popping the question on some mountain, we can capture that moment in time. This service based on availability of our photographer, Redline […]
We had a couple of tours going yesterday and both had in common phenomenal conditions and wonderful weather. At some point nature’s going to throw the switch and winters going to smack us happy, but until then, we’re out to enjoy the day that is. Life’s short so there’s no sense in wishing it away as we reach for the next big thing. This hike was […]
It was one of those anomalous mid-November days where it was pretty much perfect. The leaves now long gone, ground conditions at lower elevations pretty much back to summer normal, and winter, well, it’s right around the corner but it’s not here yet. On this day it was neither too hot nor was it too cold. It was, as Goldilocks exclaimed, “just right.” Our returning guest […]
When you’re hiking the GRID — you know, tagging all the 4000-footers every month — the total summit count ends up at 576. We think in anyone’s estimation, that’s a considerable number of mountain summits. And with hiking being such a terrific low-impact workout, the affect it has on the cardiovascular system, the quadriceps, and the calves is significant. As a result, hikers often joke when […]
This 2025 event has sold out – a waitlist has been started! We’re super excited to announce that once again we’ve partnered with the Mt Washington Observatory (MWOBS) to bring you a true epic. It goes like this: our guides lead a group to the summit of Mt Washington, once there guides and guests alike are invited into the summit weather observatory. They’re fed a welcome […]
We aim to be flexible and adaptable, even in the eleventh hour as they say, which is absolutely appropriate in the hiking world, mostly for safety reasons… but not always. Sometimes things just change and we try to be easy going about it. After all, as guides, the day doesn’t revolve around us but rather it revolves around our guests. Redline Guide Chase Hall knows this, […]
Due to the availability of free time, or lack thereof, a guest asked us for a mini adventure and took advantage of our half day hike option. We put Redline Guide Gregg Ludvigson on the case and he decided that hiking to the summit of South Moat — a popular 52 With A View peak — would meet the needs of the guest perfectly. And he […]
Some people dread getting out of their warm bed and making the drive up to the White Mountains from Massachusetts and other surrounding states. They still do it, our mountains call to them, but they don’t love it. We can’t blame them. Getting up so early and doing it takes some real determination to push past the shackles that try to hold them back. Hitting snooze […]
It was a chilly day in early November, even in town there was a nip in the air. In the mountains it was like winter. High winds and temps in the teens conspired to make a dangerously low wind chill — well below zero. The rocks this mountain is known for were covered with rime ice, regular ice, and a bit of snow in pockets making […]
Double booking oneself occasionally happens. That was the case with Redline Guide Mike Cherim. Instead of participating in our 7th Annual Trails Day, Mike was renewing his Wilderness First Responder (WFR) certification through our Wilderness First Aid (WFA) class. He wasn’t the only one, either. Also in the class, renewing her WFR certification as well was Redline Guide Hayley LaPointe. Here are a few random scenes […]
On point for this awesome volunteer effort was Redline Guide Mike Maciel. Normally Mike Cherim plays that role but he had foolishly double booked himself. Being that he needed to participate in our fall (2024) Wilderness First Aid (WFA) course to renew his Wilderness First Responder (WFR) certification so it didn’t expire, he passed the torch onto Mike M. As usual, the regular supporters were involved. […]
