About the Ridgeline style

Ridgeline stacks dozens of real terrain cross-sections, each one a south-to-north elevation slice cut from the elevation model around the trail, one behind the other down the sheet. Lines in front occlude the lines behind them, so the stack builds real depth, and the mountains you see are the ones that stand around the route.

Drawn in cream on a near-black ground, it is the darkest and most minimal poster in the range, with a deliberate nod to the classic pulsar-plot record sleeve. Names and figures are kept small so the terrain stays the subject.

Like every Outposters print, a Ridgeline poster is rendered on demand for the trail you choose, from the route geometry and public elevation data (USGS 3DEP in the United States, AWS Terrain Tiles elsewhere), printed to order at 300 DPI and shipped rolled in a tube. It comes in 4 sizes, 12×16″ at $39, 18×24″ at $59, 24×32″ at $79, 30×40″ at $99, all at the same 3:4 proportion; every size except 24×32″ fits a standard frame. Free US shipping.
