We mean a madness of the the best kind possible… This ended up being another one of those crazy weekends that there simply aren’t enough hours in the day to cover each individual activity properly so we end up consolidating the lot in a post like this. That’s the case today, with exception to one activity, an ice climbing intro course, here’s the other stuff that […]
We got to the trail junction, sure the snowshoe tracks we followed would turn with us as we made our detour to Elephant Head. We were wrong. The easy, broken trail continued on toward the high peaks, what we had before us was pristine snow. Unbroken. We would do the breaking. A quick shout out to Madison and Jack. Congratulations you two on your beautiful wedding. […]
It makes for a memorable wedding: riding up the Mt Washington Auto Road in one of those large side-by-side utility vehicles. And that’s just what happened on September 13th, 2022. The couple (we’ll call them Paul and Linda) rode up, side-by-side but merely engaged at the time, met Redline Guiding owner and NH Justice of the Peace Mike Cherim up there, where he worked his JP […]
We’re a seasonal company, but one with something to offer in all seasons (even weddings). In the spring and fall we hike and climb and offer a wide variety of outdoor education classes. Winters are even busier with more classes and myriad opportunities to climb, hike and snowshoe, ski, even get some mountaineering in. Our busiest season, however, is summer. We offer the classes but hiking […]
We’d like to thank everyone who contributed by our 5th Annual Trails day. Deciding to join the fun is deciding to give back to the forest and its users. This year we worked on the Oliverian-Downes Brook XC Ski Trail West Loop bringing its corridor back to specs. It’ll be a plus for anyone skiing it this coming winter. Go check it out! We’d like to […]
Of all the Presidentials, the 5372-foot Mt Monroe stands out as one of our favorites. We think this is thanks to a couple of attributes. First of all, unless blowing your mind by coming at it from Mt Washington or from points south, the regular access trail — the Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail — is a delight. It’s rugged, quite varied, and even exciting in places. A […]
Back in the Covid days of 2021, someone from the Echo Lake State Park would come open the gates to the Cathedral Ledge access road to let us drive up to have a wedding. We did a few of them that way, and with access choked off, the normal crowds milling about were virtually non-existent. This made Cathedral Ledge, as a wedding venue anyway, extremely attractive. […]
I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. […] —Elizabeth Barrett Browning It was a pretty sight. To our south New Hampshire’s Lakes Region was spread out with the Belknaps Mountains serving as a backdrop, the ski trails on Gunstock barely visible. To the north we were protected by Mts Roberts and Shaw (both on […]
Every time Redline Guide and New Hampshire Justice of the Peace Mike Cherim officiates a wedding at Loon Mountain in Lincoln, NH, he comes away with two impressions: One is that the weather, while beautiful, is seemingly always hot — barring that one time — (yes, he does suppose it’s merely a coincidence) and, two; it’s a really great venue! Of all the built-up summits that […]
If one mountain rises above the rest in terms of having officiated weddings there, the 2850′ Mt Willard in Crawford Notch takes the prize. One of the 52-With-A-View mountains, Mt Willard not only features a reasonable hike in for a lot of folks, the views gained upon reaching the top are stunning, to say the least. Thus, it’s no surprise Redline Guide and JP Mike Cherim […]
We stay pretty busy year ’round. Particularly winter and summer/fall with the latter being our busiest of all. Late fall slows down for a few well appreciated minutes, as does spring. As evidenced by the short video. But, enjoy it nonetheless. It features a wedding atop Mt Moosilauke — we just posted about it — and yet even more backcountry skiing with Redline Guide Dominic Torro. […]
A rather grand mountain as 4000-footers go, and one bearing a nice alpine expanse at its summit, the 4802′ Mt Moosilauke became the choice wedding venue for one Vermont couple. We won’t show recognizable photos or mention names, at the couple’s request (we always ask), but we can show images of the scene and take this opportunity to again say congratulations. The images we will show […]
