Knife Edge Trail(edit)

Overview

The Knife Edge is a narrow ridge of rock separating two branches of the Ancho Canyon drainage. The ridge narrows to become only a few yards wide, offering nice views in both directions. The trip is an easy walk on an old dirt road through piñon and juniper woodlands, and in spring you can find some early wildflowers growing along the way. It is a nice outing for families and a great early-season trip for anyone.

Getting Started

A trailhead kiosk just inside a fence identifies the Knife Edge Trailhead. The trailhead is hidden up a short entrance road but the gate is clearly marked with the number 3. Please don’t park in front of the gate.
