Taking time off is a double edged sword, so to speak. Sure, the rest up is nice, it helps us heal, but too long a rest can make starting back up a rough proposition. No different than taking a break on trail. We cool off a bit, we rest up a bit, but if we take too long a break we end up have to start […]

People hike for a variety of reasons. Topping the list is probably fresh air and exercise. Sometimes it’s a competitive thing and other times it’s contemplative thing. And for some it helps them forget, like a temporary escape from reality. But in some cases, it helps them remember. What they are remembering can be incredibly personal and often sad. In any or all of these cases, […]
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 […]
