From planning through farewell (which was not final as I will be back!) Redline Guiding provided excellent and professional service for 3 incredible day hikes in various parts of the Whites. Owner Mike matched me with guide Mike Maciel who listened and incorporated my feedback, clearly communicated, and helped me achieve what I could not have done on my own. He ensured I was challenged but not exhausted and was patient, thoughtful, and flexible. I was able to experience the beauty of the brooks, rocks, and views at Zeacliff, the Franconia Ridge loop, and Mt. Chocorua. An added bonus was that he took some pictures throughout the day and sent them to me each evening, which I also appreciated.
I highly recommend this guiding service for nature lovers of all abilities!

If you’re interested in winter mountaineering and being prepared to summit a peak, I highly recommend Redline Guiding. If you’re physically fit enough I recommend the full day course followed by the summit.
I now feel confident that I can properly use crampons and an ice axe. The number one thing I learned is that it is essential to stay on your feet and proper training hiking in crampons is highly essential. Thanks to Mike and Ty for my classroom and outdoor training I was ready to summit with Ryan. Ryan was highly qualified and a pleasure to spend the day with. We had challenging conditions but never once it i not feel confident in my guide. I also opted for their Ready Pack and although I own many backpacks I wanted to know everything I would need would be with me. It gave me extra security.

I took an intensive full-day women's winter hiking class with guides Arlette Laan and Deb Dunn and just loved the experience! They shared everything from planning to packing, layering, safety, self-care, etc., in the morning and in the afternoon we hiked to the summit of Middle Mountain in the Green Hills Preserve. I'd never done any winter hiking before this class and now I have the knowledge and confidence needed to hike in the winter in the Whites.

Loved this two day hike all planned by my Redline Guide Mike M. Sunrise on Mt Bond was stunning along with breakfast in the Pemigewasset Wilderness, it doesn’t get much better than that. Then added on a day hike up to Mt Liberty & Mt Flume. Happened to be 9/11/20 on Mt Liberty. We met a hiker with Old Glory did a photo and made another memory, never to be forgotten.
When you travel with an experienced seasoned guide service you get the most out of your outdoor adventure!
Thanks again to the Mikes!

Franconia Ridge Classic Loop successful day of hiking in the White Mountains. On July 3, 2020 my personal Main Event of the summer was successfully completed with the utmost trust within Redline Guiding and Outdoor Adventures.
Time and money well spent. I could not had completed this alone. My Redline Guide Mike Maciel Knowledgable and Certified for safety and well being. But to have knowledge and respect for the trails, plant life and brooks that flow creating beautiful water falls. Mike M. was extremely patient with my slow and steady pace. Thank You Mike Maciel and Redline Guiding. I’ll Be Back! LEW Keene, NH.

I know this is another 5 star review but it is well deserved! The owner took me and my 74 year old mother out on a half day private tour. He took us to a few popular can’t miss spots as well as some places we could’ve never experienced without a local. He kept us laughing and enjoying the White Mountains as we were chauffeured around the beauty of the National Forest.
On top of the tour, Mike made us a video of our day of escapades for us to enjoy and share with friends and family. This guy is talented and knows his stuff. Passion is infectious. Thanks Mike!

I can honestly say that eloping to New Hampshire and using Redline Guiding was the best decision I made. Both Mike the JP and mike the photographer made this crazy adventure so special, easy and magical for both myself and my husband. The pictures captured the love and happiness that we shared that day. These men went above and beyond to make this day so special and they achieved that Goal for me. I highly recommend their services and sabbaday falls as a very special spot for such a life event.

Had an incredible time today hiking the Franconia Ridge today. I’ve hiked the Franconia Ridge a few times but never in the winter. Mike Maciel was my guide. He was very patient and did an excellent job letting me enjoy the scenery and at the same time teaching how to snow shoe and gave great winter hiking tips. I highly recommend Redline Guiding.

All I wanted for Christmas was hiking gear so I could continue hiking in the winter. While researching my wife found Redline Guiding and gaving me unlimited one time expert Redline Guided hike. I was psyched. I spoke with Mike the owner and he walked through all the various services. Some of which were way beyond my skill level. But snowshoeing has always been in my plans.
Mike lined me up with Ken for an all day snowshoeing hike up MT. Hedgehog and Potash if I was up to going both. It was a great day. Ken is very personable and an excellent guide. I learned the basics about snowshoeing and I will be adding this to my weekly hiking schedule.
I recommend Redline Guides to anyone that needs an White Mountain expert.
Thank you!!

Excellent, Excellent, Excellent!!! This was a great "shake down" hike for my future thru-hike. First of all, I loved the itinerary my guide, Arlette Laan, proposed and because of her own through hiking experience she was incredibly knowledgeable and answered my gazillion questions with patience and thoughtfulness. Secondly, seeing her gear setup helped me figure out what changes I will make with my own gear. I without reservation highly recommend booking your next outdoor adventure with Redline Guiding.
