Join Us for a 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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
For those who couldn’t make it… Looking for another opportunity to learn how to backpack Redline Guide Arlette Laan? This opportunity is for you, then. She’s been with us since day one and has earned a great reputation in that time and is a font of knowledge. Specifically we wanted to get her on another Women’s Only Backpacking Trip as these have been extremely popular and […]
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 […]
Event: A New Hampshire Mountain Running Epic We’re planning on Trail Running the Pemi (the rim of the Pemigewasset Wilderness) a couple days after the 6/20 Summer Solstice and we hope you’ll join us… well, not everyone. This extreme trail running event is going to be tough, and the hope is to get it done in around 12 hours. You will need to be ready for […]
Our first Mt Washington Observatory (MWOBS) Overnight Adventure was a success. Unfortunately not everyone who signed up was able to participate. The weather was the reason for the bulk of those who didn’t do it. As often occurs on Mt Washington, the weather was being naughty. Very windy and very cold. Not enough for our trained guides to throw in the towel on, but approaching that. […]
