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 […]

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. […]
Our recent Snow Moon Snowshoe event was a big success. We had seven participate — led by Redline Guide Mike Cherim — and they were from all over, hailing from Quebec to Florida with a couple of New England states well-represented in the middle. The super low temperatures were a cause for concern, but everyone was decently geared-up and ready, at least for the objective at […]
Every now and then the impact we have on others reminds us our importance. There are stories re-told on our testimonials page that credit us in part for people getting themselves back on trail or for stopping themselves with an ice axe during a long, sliding fall. In these reminders we see how the training we offer has really done some good. Maybe saved a life […]
We’re grateful to be able to press on, doing what we do and while making a difference — we hear it more and more each year the impact we have — and we’re grateful for it. We thank you, dear reader, our awesome guests, and our incredible Redline Guides. We’re wicked grateful for all of you and we hope you’ll all follow us while we continue […]
Join Us for a Nighttime Full Moon Snowshoe Hike The second full moon of 2024 — also known as the Snow Moon — will appear on Saturday, February 24, 2024 and we’ve decided to lead a moonlight snowshoe hike for this event. This moon is named the “Snow Moon” because in February it is usually colder across the Northern Hemisphere with snowfall in many countries. This […]

We’re thankful for both our guests and our guides. It is this amazing combination that is magic, and it would never work otherwise. We do not take this for granted and realize we are quite simply, blessed for both — and so much more. Recently we have come to learn (or be reminded) that this thankfulness works in more than one direction. Sure, our guests say […]
