We meet our guests in different locations around the Northeast based on where we will be climbing and where they have chosen to stay.  Many people enjoy staying in or around North Conway, NH as it is close to most of the venues, has many lodging options, shopping, restaurants, and skiing close by.  The closest airport is Portland, ME (1hr, 25 min) and Logan Airport in Boston (2hr, 45 min) is often the cheapest and has more options for flights.  Public transportation is not well developed here and having a vehicle to drive is necessary.  There are several other options around the area and we would be happy to help out with suggestions for other itineraries.  Please email cheyenne@themountainguides.com if you have questions or would like more information.

Together, we meticulously study every stitch. We sweat every seam, fuss over fibers, and split hairs over hues and the how-it-looks. And then, we head out, and we play. Hard.
