We’re pleased to introduce “Camp Like a Champ” women’s-only overnight backpacking event. The Details This event is being led by Redline Guide Arlette Laan. If you don’t know of Arlette (click the link above to find her profile), she is a bit of an expert on the subject of backpacking. And being a woman herself, might just be able to provide a completely unparalleled gender-specific experience. […]
The New England Hundred Highest peaks, that is. And it’s something Redline Guide Arlette Laan has just completed along with her husband, Rich. This list of mountains — many of which are trailless — is made up of peaks in Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. What follows is a short summary and some photos of her finishing trip on New Hampshire’s Scar Ridge (which for those […]

This event will be led by Redline Guide and La Sportiva Mountain Running Team member, Kristina Folcik and will be open to […]
New Offering! We’re proud to annouce natural and historic guided tours in the White Mountain region. You may have already heard about our up-and-coming June 10th Alpine Garden Tour, but you probably didn’t know that was just a hint of things to come. The Alpine Garden, as you now know, is but just one guided tour option. We now also offer the following naturalist-led tours: Alpine […]
We enjoy telling folks about what our guides are up to when they’re not guiding or instructing a course. We can only share some. They are way too active for us to get into detailing the day-to-day runs, climbs, and hikes they do, even though many are surely noteworthy. The bigger stuff, however, we try to make the time for. As such, one on our guides, […]

Back in March we introduced a new Redline Guide, Ryan Welts, when he joined the team. In passing we mentioned his wife, Kristina Folcik, was also an accomplished athlete. Little did we know at the time that a little while later Kristina would hope to join forces with Redline Guiding herself excited by the prospect of working together. We have welcomed her with open arms, obviously. […]
We now have a few Redline Guiding performance t-shirts available for those who love the color red and want to flash our brand, so to speak — there’s a logo over the left breast. The shirts are Ultra Club’s “Cool and Dry” series and they fit and feel great. No cotton here because, well, you don’t want to be caught dead in one of those things. […]
Congratulations to Redline Guiding Mountain Guide Ryan Welts for completing his schooling and earning his Wilderness First Responder (WFR) certification. Since protecting our guests and others we may lead by being ready to meet their basic emergency medical needs in the mountains is critically important (and a requirement before leading), we are extremely pleased to be able to make this announcement. The schooling is tough but […]
