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.

I had never seen these classic science fiction images and most of my friends have not seen them either. They are like little treasures! Amazing quality and fun to send people!

I joined Postcrossing a few months ago and wanted postcards to represent my state well. I found them on Zazzle. I purchased numerous cards and was impressed with all of them. Excellent! The colors are beautiful. The cards have the exact look I wanted. I couldn't be happier.
