We’ve offered photographic services for our mountain weddings for quite some time, but we just expanded that service to include our other offerings. Whether you’re finishing a list or just starting out, we can document the occasion with some pro-level photos. Or maybe you’re popping the question on some mountain, we can capture that moment in time. This service based on availability of our photographer, Redline […]
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 snack, given a tour, and much more. Then dinner is served and […]
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. […]
Writing “boom” in the title is apt. It often seems like we just started out, but then we realize, reminded by our calendar, that we’ve been at this for 8 whole years! With that realization comes certain emotions. For example, knowing we have survived this long makes us feel a deep happiness and a certain sense of relief. And we have strong feelings of gratitude, too. […]
A New SAR Intro Course has been added — check it out! The recent SAR Intro Course we just taught was so well received we spent the day tweaking the in-house course outline to make it even better, finishing up the entry on our site, adding it to our educational offerings page as well as to our site navigation and booking form. We’ve now gone live […]
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 […]
As we did in 2022 and 2023, we have again received the Travelers’ Choice Award from Trip Advisor (TA) — this one for the 2024 award season. The selection is based on positive reviews putting us in the “top 10% worldwide” according to TA. We’re equal parts stoked and grateful. The gratitude extending out to two important groups: our guests and our guides. The former for […]
The mountain will be there another day is what they tell you, but will you be? Nobody’s getting any younger. The Seven Summits aren’t going to hike themselves, but you have to work. You have to feed your kids, you have a spouse, friends, family, co-workers. The time press is relentlessly squeezing. Just getting to the park to walk the dog is a thing nowadays. Here […]
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. […]
