You just want to take a hike, but you don’t want to waste a ton of time figuring out which one. I’m on it! I’ll recommend a great hike just for you.

How it Works

We will have a brief consultation (either by email, on zoom, or in person, or whatever works for you). Generally lasting about an hour. You tell me about your previous hiking experiences (none is fine!) and any hikes that you’ve done before.

You tell me what you’d like out of this hike. Maybe you like waterfalls. You’re trying to complete the NH48. You’re taking your two young kids on their first hike. Or you just want a great view!

You tell me your likes and dislikes. Maybe you hate scrambles. You can’t stand a super crowded trail. You don’t want to drive on unpaved roads to get to the trailhead.

I take everything into consideration to pick a perfect hike and create a custom guide just for you.

• Recommended hike
• Trail summary: summit, which trails to take, distance, and elevation gain
• Detailed turn-by-turn trail description of the hike, including things to watch out for and hike highlights
• Parking information
• Weather forecast and updates as the date of your hike approaches
• Map information, including a link to your route on Gaia maps
• Trail conditions (if available and applicable) and updates as the date of your hike approaches
• Estimated times, including emergency turn around time, estimated hike time, sunset, sunrise, and drive times
• Gear lists specific to the trail and weather/conditions
• After plans – suggestions for where to grab a burger or beer after your hike
• Emergency contact info – I can be the person who knows your itinerary and will call NH Fish and Game if you don’t check in at the appointed time (something every hiker should always have!) and your guide can be given to your “safety person” with all the info they’d need
• Turn by turn cards or images for your phone for quick reference on the trail

What it costs

The initial consultation is one time only, so I can give you the best recommendations specifically for you, and is $75. Each hike guide/recommendation after that is $25.
