Once again we are super stoked to announce that we are in the top ten percent worldwide and have been awarded with Trip Advisor’s Travelers’ Choice Award for 2025. That said, we wish to thank our amazing guides and awesome guests for making this a reality. Thank you, all, very much! We’re feeling the love!
One of the “easier” 4000-footers is Mt Waumbek, located in Jefferson, NH, and it’s now crossed off the list. Not the 4000-footers list, but the Grid list of one of our oft-returning guests on a Companion hike with Redline Guide Chase Hall. We could have told you that they also bagged Starr King of the 52WAV-fame, but it resides on that list no longer. Here’s a […]
If you miss the rock formation that went by the name “Old Man of the Mountain” — the very icon of New Hampshire which collapsed in the darkness on May 3rd, 2003 — the “Old Woman on the Notch,” a.k.a. “The Watcher,” stands sentinel awaiting your visit. And a visit to the cool spot is exactly what one couple wanted. This trip was led by Redline […]
In a year our new guests, new hikers, would like to trek to Peru’s “Lost City of the Incas,” Machu Picchu. Today’s tour served as step one of their plan to get there. To begin they opted for a “tourist tour” event, but not our standard offering. Instead of visiting some waterfalls and whatnot in the standard two- to three-hour offering, however, they wanted a short […]
A new guest came to us with a two part objective. First of all he wanted to summit Mt Washington. Second, he wanted to lay eyes on Hillman’s Highway and other lines as he plans to ski the Ravine in the near future. Originally the hike was slated to be a summit-at-sunrise epic. Unfortunately the weather didn’t really cooperate due to a wet forecast with high […]
A couple from Maryland came to us looking for a guide to lead them one of the most awesome hikes offered here in the White Mountain National Forest: The Pemi Loop. This 30+ mile loop circles then bisects the Pemigewasset Wilderness and is hiked in a day, two days, three days, or even more depending on how tough one wants it to be. For this couple […]
Our “Tourist Tours” are perfect for those looking to see the sights without committing to a half- or full-day hike. The guest on this trip is an amateur photographer with a goal to someday become a pro. He asked if we could show him some landscapes worthy of a photo or two. We replied that we could and in the three hours scheduled we were able […]
Over the past couple of years we have led the wonderful staff and youth campers at Camp TelNoar on hiking adventures and exploration. Happy with our service, not only did they come back for a third season, this year they referred us one of their other camps, Camp Tevya. They told them how much fun they had during seasons one and two. Needless to say, we’re […]
To ken Mt Washington is to perceive, understand, and know Mt Washington and we’re the ones to call when ready to advance to that. That’s what a young fellow and his father did when the younger of the two wanted to conquer the New Hampshire’s tallest mountain. At 6288 feet it’s a lot of mountain, and even more so for our young hiker. Being that he […]
Section-hiking — versus thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail (AT) — is exciting and there’s benefit to doing it that way as changing direction, shuffling the order, etc., customizes the experience to suit one’s needs. That’s what a section-hiker going by the trail name “Downhill” was doing when she reached out hoping for a little companionship — and some portering — as she closes in on her big […]
A returning guest and her small cadre of hiking friends, family, and canines wanted to cross off a few more 4000-footers over a two-day period and reached out. The requested peaks included North and Middle Tripyramid on day one and Mt Osceola on day two, both hikes in the more southerly Sandwich Range. Our guests also requested the same guides as last time, impressed with their […]
A guest came to us looking for some help with a section of the Mahoosucs, from Goose Eye Trail to Notch Trail — now done leaving our guest with only about ten miles to finish. Originally she wanted to do an overnight, but the plan was changed to a day hike. It was an extended day (over 12 hours) and we did offer some portering in […]
