How Ridgeline works

From scouting to a field-ready plan.

A promising basin is only the beginning. You still need an approach, a camp, a pack you can carry, and a crew that knows the plan.

Ridgeline puts the scouting map, route planning, and trip preparation in one workspace. Here’s how you put them to work.

  1. 01

    Scout the ground.

    Compare terrain and access. Place camp and waypoints; see routes, elevation, and estimated walking time together.

    See the planning workspace
  2. 02

    Prepare the hunt.

    Build loadouts, plan the meals, and share packing responsibilities. Know what’s coming—and who’s carrying it.

    See the gear & crew tools
  3. 03

    Take it into the field.

    Download supported maps and field plans before leaving service. Keep notes and tracks, then sync when you’re connected again.

Compare routes before choosing an approach.

Place a base camp and a glassing point. Ridgeline models the route between them and shows the climb, estimated travel time, and terrain tradeoffs. Compare approaches before committing to the walk.

Ridgeline Copilot

Ask Ridgeline to inspect the plan.

Ask Copilot to compare approaches, inspect elevation along a route, or help place waypoints. Check the evidence and make the final call.

Step 02 / Prepare the hunt

Organize gear, meals, and loadouts across your team

Work out pack weights, meals for the days ahead, and who’s carrying the shared gear. Keep the preparation alongside your route and camp. Bring your hunting partners into the plan.

Step 03 / Take it into the field

Take supported maps and field plans offline.

Download supported maps and field plans before you leave. Keep notes and tracks as you go, then sync when you’re back in coverage.

Mountain hunting. Colorado first.

Built first for Colorado elk and mule deer.

Our focus starts with DIY Colorado mountain hunts. Whether you live down the road or drive across the country, work out the trip before you get there.

Start with Colorado

Elk and mule deer. Prepared GMU scouting data, harvest history, terrain and route tools. Predictive Index in supported units and species contexts.

Parcel records vary by county. Rankings are scouting priorities, not guarantees of animal presence.

Archery or rifle. Your own plan.

Plan a backpack hunt or work from a base camp. Connect the approach, camp, pack weights, meals, and shared gear with field plans you can download before leaving coverage.

Other available coverage
