States of Elevation is Kilian Jornet’s latest personal project: a human-powered journey to link 14,000-foot peaks across the United States by foot and bike. Beyond the physical effort, the project reflects Kilian’s deep connection to wild places and his ongoing pursuit of meaning through endurance, nature, and exploration.

“I will seek the best way to link the summits — not just to reach them, but to trace the most meaningful lines that connect them across the boundless West Coast of the US, using both biking and running to make the journey.”
