Knife Edge · Maine’s most thrilling hike

Not your average walk in the woods. Narrow ridges, full-body scrambles, and views that make your knees shake — in the best way. I started at 5AM just to get a standby spot. 18km. 9 hours. No signal. No regrets. Hands, knees, and willpower required. 🎒 Route: Abol Trail up → Summit → Knife Edge → return same way 🥵 Steep, technical, 100% worth it 🌲 Campers get parking. Others, line up early (like… before sunrise) Next stop: Acadia 💙 🏕️ Essentials ✔ Gloves ✔ 2.5L+ water ✔ Food, layers, grit ✔ Offline map ✔ No fear of heights #Hiking #BaxterStatePark #KnifeEdgeTrail #MaineHikes #EastCoastHiking #HikeMaine
