HILINE — backcountry route design

Routes where the country doesn’t acknowledge you.

We document the Western landscape’s transition zones — where ecology and topography create distinctive terrain. Routes that move through the in-between spaces where the desert fails and the forest begins, where alkaline flats meet mountain shadow, where one geological world presses against another. The riding that happens in these places is different from the riding on either side of them. The ground changes under the wheel before the eye has registered why.
