From the White Mountain National Forest we find pleasure and business, and for the White Mountain National Forest we give back by rolling up our sleeves and getting to work.

That’s what we were up to on Sunday, June 23rd, […]
This past weekend we provided leadership to an important Team In Training event raising money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS).

The leadership provided came from Redline Guides Ken Hodges, Jeffrey Shutak, and […]

We are creating a series of hiking adventures that will take participants off the beaten track to explore areas of the White Mountain National Forest that few ever visit. We will be bushwhacking, using old trails, following terrain features like slides, navigating by map and compass, and more. If you’ve ever taken one of our Wilderness Navigation courses this may be a perfect opportunity to put […]
We cleared seventy waterbars! We recently announced our First Annual Volunteer Trails Day. Our thinking was, as a company, to organize a way for folks to give back to the White Mountain National Forest. For hikers, a great way to do this is to maintain the hiking trails. Doing so preserves and protects them. And it’s sorely needed. Hikers may not realize how much impact they […]

Two of our Redline Guides have done this: Bill Robichaud (the 29th finisher, ever), and Mike Cherim (the 37th). Other team members are working on it […]

It has its challenges, usually in the form of soft snow, postholing, dripping trees, weakened snow bridges, and iffy river crossings — plus it still gets cold at night — but there’s so much to do at this time of year blending winter with the rest of the year. Below are examples of some of the cool, […]
