Company for Owl’s Head

She had two more peaks to go to complete her New Hampshire 48 4000-footers list: Owl’s Head and Isolation. Due to the distance and general remoteness of these peaks, combined with a minor mishap on Adams, she decided hiring a guide as a companion to be a sound idea. We begin with Owl’s Head. On point for this hike was Redline Guide Arlette Laan (whom we’re […]

South Twin Wedding

Although she’s a dedicated hiker in the Whites, the bride-to-be had never hiked either of the Twins, but the groom had and thought of South Twin Mountain — at least so far — as his favorite 4000-footer in New Hampshire. We added “at least so far” because he has six mountains still to go. That said, now that he and his bride have married atop the […]

Middle Sugarloaf Marriage

It was inevitable. We knew that eventually we’d have a couple pick one of the Sugarloaves for their mountain wedding ceremony. It’s a terrific sunrise option, if nature offers up a sunrise, that is. In any case, there are numerous grand vistas in most directions on these well-loved 52WAV peaks. The sunrise on Middle Sugarloaf was less than spectacular on this particular morning. But that’s okay, […]

Scar Ridge and PATN

Scar Ridge (3775′) and Peak Above The Nubble (PATN, 3813′) are two of the New Hampshire mountains that make up the hundred highest peaks in New England (NEHH). Neither of these have a proper trail to their summits requiring hikers to bushwhack. Inasmuch, we are occasionally asked to guide on these mountains. That’s what happened this past weekend with a returning single guest who prefers a […]

Mt Hobbs Wedding

Okay, okay, there is no Mt Hobbs, but we have a reputation for mountain weddings so we put that spin on it. The ceremony was on the grounds of the Hobbs Tavern and Brewing Company. They have a nice location in a field with a lazy river meandering through this scenic backdrop. The ceremony was, as requested, very short and sweet. So much so, in fact, […]

Providing AT Assistance

We all get by with a little help from our friends. Giving this help is something we’ve done and will keep doing here at Redline Guiding. Call it companion hiking, or whatever, it seems a number of people appreciate this type of service. We’ve done it a few times recently, most notably on New England Hundred Highest peaks since many lack actual trails. In other cases, […]

Rockhopper-Redline WFA

We’re pleased to announce a cooperative effort between ourselves here at Redline Guiding and Rockhopper Races LLC. For those who don’t know them, they’re the ones bringing professionally-organized mountain racing to the White Mountain National Forest. The effort we’re cooperating on is to bring a SOLO Wilderness First Aid (WFA) class to those in need. We’ve been working on this for a while so it’s nice […]

Presidential Fitness

Some folks like to hike, while others like to run with the wind. For those who know him, Redline Guide Ryan Mcguire likes to occasionally run with the wind. So, when three fellows approached, active runners and cyclists looking to crush the Presidential Range, putting Ryan on it was a natural fit. The weather was just about perfect, the group getting a crack of dawn start. […]

Weekend of Nuptials

We didn’t mention it previously in our last blog post, but while Redline Guide Ken Hodges was up there on the Rock Pile leading in Huntington Ravine, Redline Guide Ryan Mcguire was also up there doing some recreational rock climbing elsewhere in the same ravine. To be specific, he was leading trad on Henderson Ridge. And that’s not all, Redline Guide, owner, and NH Justice of […]

More Huntington Ravine

Our guests were on the fence about hiring a guide but finally decided it was worth it. After all, they wanted to climb Huntington Ravine and it’s notorious for its dangers and difficulties. It was the right call. On point for this mission was Redline Guide Ken Hodges. For those who don’t follow us, Ken often leads our Huntington Ravine hikes. The trip went well, unremarkable […]

Dogs Love Hiking, Too

She asked us a simple question: Can I bring my dog with me on a guided hike?. To which we promptly replied: yes, but there are restrictions and requirements. We were ready for this question because a prior guest had asked it previously. Now it was in our FAQs. In short, to accommodate a guest bringing a dog, we observe the items in the following list: […]

Guiding the Bonds

We’re busy enough that writing up all of our trips is virtually impossible. Now we cherry pick sharing only our cooler trips. We’ve been leading a lot of backpacks lately, but the Bonds are special. We just had to write about this one. The Bonds are “out there,” remote by New Hampshire standards, and to some hikers, claiming those peaks is a huge deal, challenging to […]
