Rain or shine, that’s what we told everyone. And rain it was. Like all our other weekends this spring so far. But all was not lost. While the number of attendees did indeed dwindle (and we can’t blame them) our 8th Annual Trails Day did happen and it was a big success. Some sorely needed work was done on the Kearsarge North Trail and we were […]
Learn how to rock climb in this intro-level weekend (One Day or Two) Are you new to the vertical realm? We can help introduce you to the exciting sport of rock climbing with this open-group intro course. This is meant to be a two day event — though doing just one day is allowable but will depend on prior experience. Day one is for first timers […]
SIGN UP WITH EMAIL Volunteer to give back to the WMNF mountains and their trails! For anyone who’s had the privilege of bushwhacking in the White Mountain National Forest (WMNF), you know just how instrumental the trails really are. If you think our trails are rugged, try pushing your way to the top of one of our 4000-footers off trail, amid the “pencil woods” — conifers […]
Join Us for Another Women’s-Only Winter Backpacking Experience Learn how to enjoy being outside in the winter overnight with comfort, calmness, and confidence. While it can be a valuable experience for anyone, this beginner’s event is for women only. This event will be in a below-treeline location. Specifics will be given to paid participants only for privacy reasons. For more information and to sign up, keep […]
Our friends over at Hiking Buddies created an event meant to help hikers and others stay safe in the winter. Aptly named the Snow Safe Summit (SSS), this was their first go at it and despite a significant snowstorm, the two-and-a-half day event was well attended. Our role was two-fold: On day one we offered a “skills station” going over simple traction devices and snowshoes helping […]

Join Us for the Trip of a Lifetime — Trek to Everest Base Camp (EBC) As is very well known, Mount Everest, at 8,848m/29,031′ is the tallest mountain in the world and its location in the Himalayas is quite remote. To climb it involves first getting to it and that takes about a week of hiking passing through arguably some of the most jaw-dropping beautiful countryside […]
Join us to Ring in the New Year on Mt Moosilauke Starting off on the right foot is how we’d describe ringing in the New Year atop a mountain. Sure, you could stay home and watch the ball drop in Times Square — assuming you manage to stay up that late — or you could go to a party and get rip-roaring drunk, but we have […]
Cold is a frosty mountain wind, a silent and lonesome vigil atop a dark, rocky, ice-covered lump in the landscape. It’s not a preferable situation. Add other people, though, coupled with an almost full moon on a clear night, and top it off with some Swiss Miss hot chocolate with marshmallows and now you’re talking. Next thing you know, warmed by a hike and a steaming […]
Join Us for a Nighttime Almost Full Moon Hike — Last one in 2024 The last full moon of 2024 — also known as the “Cold Moon” — will appear on Sunday, December 15th so we decided (for practicality) to celebrate this event on Saturday, December 14th, 2024 by leading an almost full moon night hike to celebrate this event. This moon is named the Cold […]
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 […]
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 […]
