"Baxter Miles," Ayuh!
Some of the trail miles in New Hampshire and Maine are different than many of the trail miles found in other parts of the country. First of all, many of our eroded “trails” tend to go straight up — which is how they became eroded — increasing the level of effort required to climb them. Granted, this leads to an elevated sense of accomplishment allowing hikers in many cases the satisfaction earned…

Steady Progress - Day One
A couple of fellows asked to hike with us for a few days. They were requesting one full day hike (that’s what this blog post is about), one overnight using one of the AMC’s huts (this is what they are doing as this is being written), and one final hike, a cooling-down half-day. This first day was led by Redline Guide Tim Jones — see his summary and photos in this post, below — and the objective…

On the A.T. at Eight-y
See what we did there? Back in December an 80-years-young guest reached out hoping for some companionship/guidance/portering on the partial traverse of the Mahoosuc Range as part of her decades-long AT section hiking effort. Specifically she wanted to travel from Route 2 to Goose Eye Trail, with the latter being the ultimate goal — for now. For those who know us know that this is the sort of…

Wild in New Hampshire
We had a father-son team from the Netherlands reach out as suggested by ChatGPT. They were hoping to do a hike while they were visiting the area. A small mishap in Washington, DC, involving the father’s knee, however, had him wondering if he’d be able and ready or if he would have to change his plans. Luckily he was mending well and they were able to go through with the hike plans, though we did…

North Baldface Adventure
A returning guest has booked hikes with us in the past for her grandchildren and she did so again this season. The hikers she was gifting were ages 20 (it was his birthday), 16, and 12 and they love to hike. Especially fun scrambles. The plans floated included Mt Chocorua as well as the Baldfaces. The latter was the adventure selected. Leading this, as had been done in the past, was Redline Guide…

The Mahoosuc Traverse
A runner of Ultras came to us looking for a companion on a one-day Mahoosuc Traverse. This ask is understandable. The ~32 mile Mahoosuc Traverse represents some of the toughest terrain in the White Mountain National Forest of Maine and New Hampshire. The muddy sections alone demand attention as do the via ferrata bits and of course there’s the notorious “Mahoosuc Notch.” Additionally, if it’s not…

Six More Done
We love meeting the wants and needs of our guests, helping them along on their journey to complete this or that objective. Whether it be the Terrifying 25, the 52 With a View, or, in this case, the NH 48 4000-footers, we’re on it. This post covers such a trip, this one led by Redline Guide Rhonda Willette. What follows are her words and photos helping a guest get… Six More Toward the NH48 —…

More Camp Adventures Two
Once again Camp Tevya — a Jewish summer youth camp — reached out booking another half-day of adventure with us. This time we began our day at the Pinkham Notch Visitor Center. Once organized and outfitted the kids followed the lead of six Redline Guides: Debra McCown, Rhonda Willette, Bethany Bourget, Mary Fields, Tim Jones, and Gregg Ludvigson. As a team they took on a counterclockwise loop…

Circling Back to Cube
A new guest reached out to us with a pretty specific request: he wanted to reach the north summit of Mt Cube (one of the 52 With a View peaks). There he wanted to relax, admire the scenery on a beautiful day, eat lunch, take some photos, then hike back. Quite simple and matter-of-fact. Apparently he had spend time in this area as a youth and wanted to take it all in again, this time with a newer,…

Galeheading to the Twins
The plan was to have our returning guests hike to the AMC’s Galehead Hut, summit Galehead, then return to the hut and stay for the night in anticipation for the next day. The following morning the trio took on a seriously steep trail, heading up the bag South and North Twin Mountains. After that they were going to retrace their steps and head down. Leading this adventure was Redline Guide Debra…

One More One Way
A new guest reached out to us hoping we could help. The plan was to hike the Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail to Crawford Path then summit Mt Washington from there. After which our guest’s father would pick her up for at the top and bring her down the Auto Road. Leading this “one-way Washington” was Redline Guide Rhonda Willette. What follows are her words and photos. Our guest came to New Hampshire with…

47 To Go
A mother and her son were looking for a hiking guide and reached out to us thanks to some Facebook referrals. On point for this adventure was Redline Guide Rhonda Willette. It was a great choice and Rhonda showed them a great time choosing an entry-level 4000-footer: Mt Pierce. We could go into detail but Rhonda is stepping up a chief story teller on this. What follows is her summary and…

Climbing in Thick Air
As the humidity increases the human body’s sweat fails to efficiently cool us — evaporative cooling stagnates in water-saturated air. Even in fairly moderate temperatures. The water has no where to go. This is one of the human body’s weaknesses. And it’s dangerous. Yet, we still get out there, pushing our limits, hoping for cooler temps, lower humidity, and stronger breezes (even if they don’t…

More Camp Adventures
Over the past few years we’ve led a large group of youths from Camp Tel Noar — a Jewish summer camp for children ages 7 through 16 located in Hampstead, NH on the shores of Sunset Lake. With them we led some cool adventures in Crawford and Pinkham Notches and they were back for 2026. On this day we returned to Crawford Notch. The hope was to show the kids a fun time and have them walk away a bit…

The Wolf was Back for More
Remember yesterday’s guest? We mentioned her and her wolf/dog, Echo, here. The two were back today hoping for more, again going out with Redline Guide Tim Jones. The plan was to stay as cool as possible, meet Echo’s needs, and stick close to water. Tim decided another multi-trail jaunt in Crawford Notch was in order. Tim summarized the day, below. Our returning guest and her 11-year old wolf/dog,…

Hiking with Echo
A returning guest came to us hoping to hike something during one of the mornings of her visit to the area. With her was her lovely dog/wolf mix, “Echo.” On task for this lead we put Redline Guide Tim Jones to work. After doing his due diligence — which he excels at — he decided on a couple of trails in the southern Mahoosucs that would meet their needs. What follows are Tim’s words. Not every…

Taking on Huntington Ravine
We often get calls from people who would like to conquer the notorious Huntington Ravine — billed as the “most difficult trail” in the Whites. This was one such case, plus he neeeded it for the Terrifying 25 list. Our guest was pointed in our direction by some Facebook users so he gave us a call. We were happy to add him to our schedule. The weather leading up to this date left us with some…
