Borderline Trail is a short, hard mountain biking route on the Forest Service land of Mt. Hood National Forest in Oregon. It is about 0.7 miles long and rises roughly 320 feet from the trailhead, which sits at about 2,080 feet, to a high point near 2,410 feet. The climb is out and back, and the steepest stretch, about 18%, comes roughly a third of the way up the route. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at a similar elevation put July and August highs around 79°F with lows near 49°F, while winter highs stay in the upper 30s and low 40s. Hidden Trail, a mountain biking route, and the 140 Trail, a hike, both start within about 0.2 miles. Viento Wall, a climbing area, is about 2.6 miles away, and Rainy Lake campground is about 6.2 miles off.
