About This Design

Knife Edge Trail Katahdin Maine Postcard

Knife Edge Trail Katahdin Maine Postcard

The crown jewel of hikes in Maine is the Knife Edge Trail atop Mount Katahdin, the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail. From the base at Baxter State Park’s Roaring Brook Campground, the Hunt Trail climbs steadily through spruce–fir forest before breaking into the alpine zone. Once you reach Cathedral Ridge, the real adventure begins: a narrow, rocky spine stretching nearly a mile with steep drop-offs on either side. Hand-over-hand scrambling leads you past wind-sculpted cairns and granite tors, each step rewarding you with sweeping panoramas of Baxter’s deep lakes and pine-studded valleys. Tackling the Knife Edge demands respect and preparation—strong footwear, sure footing, and a clear head for exposure are essential—but those who make the traverse are treated to one of the most exhilarating ridge-line hikes in North America. On a clear day, you’ll stand above 5,000 feet of rugged wilderness, with the jagged profile of Baxter Peak just ahead and the vastness of Northern Maine stretching below. For many, the Knife Edge isn’t just a hike but a rite of passage: a dramatic testament to Maine’s wild spirit and a memory etched in stone and sky long after the descent.

Such a huge range of different frogs available, which made my choices very difficult and now the reason I have a whole draw full of cards and postcards! Much better quality than you can buy in the shops and they are exactly on the subject I love and adore too.
