How fit do I need to be?

The best thing about hiking in New Hampshire is that there are incredible options for all skill levels. You don’t need prior experience because there are several beginner trails that will serve as an introduction to the world of hiking, but you should have good fitness as you’ll be moving for the whole day. Intermediate hikes will see more change in elevation and hikes will start to increase in length, hiking anywhere between four to eight miles. Advanced hikes are full-day treks with steep descents and challenging switchbacks. Keep in mind, the weather above the treeline can be extreme and you should be prepared for exposure to high winds. You’ll also be packing a daypack filled with water and other things you’ll need throughout the day.

What do I need to bring?

Here’s a list of the equipment you need to bring: Day pack with waist wrap (around a 20-30L bag) Hiking poles — optional Water bottle or hydration bladder (2L capacity) Sturdy hiking boots or trail running sneakers Spare clothes for layering Light insulating layer/softshell top Hardshell jacket with hood Snow pants or soft shell climbing pants Hardshell pants Warm hat Neck gaiter Gloves Toiletries (sunscreen, hand sanitizer, bug spray, toilet paper, etc.) Headlamp Sunglasses Camera — optional (but recommended) Dress comfortably and for the weather in clothes you can move in. We suggest bringing clothing appropriate for the season. Layers are best and don’t wear jeans.

Group sizes and age requirements

Group sizes and prices: For this group adventure, the usual client-to-guide ratio is 5:1. You will be places in group of people with similar skill level.

Things to know

New Hampshire’s numerous mountain ranges house some of the nation’s most beloved hikes. Whether you’re new to hiking in the Northeast or a seasoned adventure junkie looking for a new challenge, you’re sure to find your dream route on one of New Hampshire’s 48 4,000-foot-tall peaks. White Dot Trail’s beautiful highlands are the ideal place to get into hiking, which is why it’s also one of the most climbed routes in the world. Tuckerman Ravine’s rugged and demanding trails hide landscapes so dramatic that they look like they came straight from a painting. National Geographic featured the scenic Franconia Ridge loop among “World’s best hikes” thanks to its excellent terrain and jaw-dropping views of the White Mountains. You could spend months hiking here, and you wouldn’t even scratch the surface of the deep and diverse experience that is hiking in New Hampshire.

Kerri A. (source: Yelp!)

We did the one-day Mount Washington winter ascent yesterday with Corey as our guide and it was fantastic. We were 5 completely inexperienced climbers – to give you an idea of how inexperienced, one of our group had pajama pants on as his base layer… From helping us find the right gear to showing us how to actually use it to talk me through a slightly scary section, Corey was so patient and all around just a really good guy. I can’t say enough good things about our experience and we would all highly recommend using Northeast Mountaineering.

Amola S. (source: Yelp!)

Just went on 8/21/16 with some friends. Josh and Doug were our guides. They were patient and fun. We had a great time. It’s scary and fun. Doug was able to patch up both me (small cut and bruise on my shin) and my husband (large gash on knee). Not everyone gets hurt — our friends came away uninjured.
