Mt. Katahdin in Maine has an infamous trail called The Knife Edge. It connects some of the more prominent peaks and eventually leads up to Baxter Peak which is the tallest in Maine. It's known for being one of the more dangerous hikes because of its ultra skinny hiking areas and deadly drops on either side. Recently, I traveled up to Baxter State Park in order to take on this sketchy trail.

That would be pretty amazing

@gumrubberfilms8704 5 лет назад

I was born and grew up in MILLINOCKET, but I never made it up the mountain. The one time I tried, it ended up pouring, and by the time we got to Chimney Pond, the top of the mountain was in clouds and some of the trails were closed due to the weather. Thanks for taking us with you!

@MobileInstinct 5 лет назад

Ive been wanting to do this for a few years. Glad I finally made it up there!

@bethlamont3973 5 лет назад

Your mom must not be watching. If I was her, I couldn't watch you do this. I'm holding my breath as I watch you cross that narrow path!

@SueGirling68 5 лет назад

Hi, it might be a good idea to have a gopro for this kind of thing as you can use both of your hands. Great video, thank you. x

@mxgryan 5 лет назад

Agreed haha

@foxtrott99 5 лет назад

OH GOOD LORD !!! 😯😨 YOU ARE BRAVE Beautiful scenery though. I could never do that. Deathly afraid of heights 😁

@MobileInstinct 5 лет назад

The scenery made it worth it for sure

@mishegoss6311 3 года назад

I did that climb when I was 15 years old. Awesome adventure. Highly recommend this journey. You won't be disappointed.

@adventureswithchristian6967 5 лет назад

I have been on many dangerous hikes, but nothing like this. When you make your way across the country please stop in Nevada for another hike with a view of Area 51. Tikaboo Peak is much easier then what you did, but a great look at Area 51. I'll even take you if you want to do it. Loved the video thank you!!!

@joea.8007 5 лет назад

Man you are a brave dude with lots of guts!!!! I hope the path was wider than it looked on the video.

@patmccamy4126 3 года назад

WOW!!!! If only I had known about this when I was up in that area!!!! Scary but I'm glad you did it!!!! Bucket List item here!!!! Pat

@mykkie100 5 лет назад

Chris, another gret video! I can only appreciate what you do! I am gettint vrtigo just watching ! The scenery is amazing! Watching the sun peek throught the clouds was beautiful! You are a very brave person, Chris. Thanks for doing for me what I can't do for myself!

@bellakaldera3305 7 месяцев назад

I've hiked the Knife Edge, both ways. I was with a friend who is a hang glider pilot, he was crossing on all fours clinging to the rock while I was just walking along the Edge...I was a chimney sweep and heights mean nothing to me, while my pilot friend stated that he was uncomfortable being so high, yet so close to the rocks!

@AdventuresWithMe00 5 лет назад

That's been on my bucket list for a while. It's a big commitment simply to drive all the way to the mountain and make the arduous hike just to start Knife Edge. Thanks for the inspiration.

@MobileInstinct 5 лет назад

It was a strenuous hike for sure but I'm really glad I did it.

@rvdxpress 4 года назад

Cyborg confirmed. This gave me anxiety. You are bold and brave!

@Liz-cmc313 3 года назад

Beautiful!!! That height though 😬... Makes me dizzy just watching you walk along the edge.

@kevinj8258 5 лет назад

Love this so much for the memories. Also did this in my early 20s (about 35 years ago). Looks the same. Was in peak condition when I did this.

@nicholascarter9546 5 лет назад

Haha I remember hiking this trail 2 years ago. We headed up cathedral trail and our plan was to go across knufe's edge. It was extremely cloudy, very sketchy, so we decided to go out a little bit, we felt comfortable even though we couldn't see much of where or how far we had gone. Eventually the wind blew away the cloud and we were able to see we were around half-way! It was quite beautiful and I enjoyed it. People say it is much narrower than it actually is, and I only remember one really thin part. I am a little sad that you didn't show the chimney though as that is my favorite part of the trail. Great video though. Greetings from Maine😁

@cathybaumback6427 5 лет назад

I’ve got 45 states down. Seeing the USA with boots down on the ground and meeting all sorts of different people is the best feeling in the world. Love it Love it Love it! What I remember about Maine? I was a kid. Moose, rocky beaches and a lot of whole lobsters! Cheap.

@sharon94503 5 лет назад

You know it's not the fall that will kill you, it's the landing. At least you will have lived your dreams with no regrets...thanks for taking me where I could never go.

on a trail like that i would want my hands free o_o the views are absolutely stunning though! thank you for sharing

@JGM1721 5 лет назад

You are a brave man. My stomach was literally dropping viewing parts of your hike. That is definitely a place I just couldn't go. . . But thankfully, you are gutsy enough to do with a camera so we can experience it from a VERY safe place. Thanks again for the experience. I am looking forward to the videos you make on your trip.

If you're on the Katahdin summit in the fall, you might be lucky enough to see Appalachian Trail thru hikers finish their 2,200 mile journey.

@emrej2527 4 года назад

When you said I get these ideas in your head and you have no idea where they come from I laughed. So relatable.

@edtrenn557 5 лет назад

Hey Chris. My family and I used to go camping here every summer. I knew where you were before you even said katahdin. We climbed that mountain too. I love your channel. Keep it up.

@MobileInstinct 5 лет назад

Such a beautiful park! We passed some of the campers on the way down and I was jealous of them. One day I ll get back to spend some more time.

@blink1011 5 лет назад

@TheDianne888 5 лет назад

Holy moly dude! There you are walking on the Knife's Edge with a camera in your left hand and a camera on a stick in your right hand.....Just seeing that freaked me right out enough to stop and type this! You have no free hands to grab onto anything should you slip!

@N_Wheeler 5 лет назад

I walked 'Striding Edge' in the English Lake District. It was so narrow at one point we lost the trail and ended up on the side of the ridge. Scary. You walked into a cloud by the way, not fog.

@MobileInstinct 5 лет назад

Haha very true

@pekolucky 3 года назад

Terrific video! Thank you.

@sandyca1106 5 лет назад

That is scary, not the height, but the rocks that could simply come loose under your feet. Looking forward to your visit again in Calif. You did a video here at Stout Grove inland from Crescent City, CA. Just north in Cave Junction on Hwy 199 are some caves! You might be interested in that. I don't do caves, so if you do it, I can see what's inside, if they let you video it. Be safe, and thank you.

@MobileInstinct 5 лет назад

Thats a beautiful area! I love the redwoods and being in that forest. Yes, Im very interested in the caves!

@Marshallmiracles 5 лет назад

that looked real scary, worse than the roller coaster at Coney Island!

@cassie6583 5 лет назад

i fail to see the thrill of hiking on such a dangerous trail but that is my opinion. Who pays for the people who fall and break a bone and need help getting back down?

@MobileInstinct 5 лет назад

I guess everyone has their own interests. I believe The National Guard handle most of the air lifting of injured people. Don't think its that often but they use it as training exercise. Every state and park is different though.

@cassie6583 5 лет назад

Ive done some crazy things so far but I guess I got my limits. Ive been snowmobiling up there but would never hike where you just did especially alone. But you're a guy and they are braver or just have a death wish. lol But as long as Im just watching your amazing videos in comfort of my own abode I say go for it. I think the best video of you was the Mt Washington one and the Mt. St. Helens one. Thx for the entertainment and especially the history which I can never get enough of.

@cameronclark5705 3 года назад

Love this mountain

@MikeMikeActual 5 лет назад

GOOOOOOOOOLLY!! My heart is pounding watching this, just one wrong step on either side & bye-bye!! LOL. But on the other hand in order to get the best views one must take risks!!

@boitoiful 5 лет назад

Now that is dangerous. I trust you got back ok since we have heard from you and this vid is published. OMG! Balls of steel! J

@propdoctor21564 5 лет назад

Another amazing video... I had no idea that Maine had such treacherous terrain... I wonder how many people have fallen down the sides of knife edge? On another note it's interesting that I had a hat exactly like yours back in the 1970s.. 😁

@MobileInstinct 5 лет назад

I did some reading a while back about it. There have definitely been some deaths through the years. Lots of people also get stranded with injuries or bad weather. I read The National Guard airlifts people off the mountain in those situations.

@paulstan9828 5 лет назад

Very cool! You did it! Congratulations!

Yes! there was a sign on the top of the mountain that said that. I had no idea until then.

@Myn6211 5 лет назад

Yikes. Better you than me on that knife edge. Great video but I sure wish you'd have had that camera strapped to your head so that both of your hands would have been free. 😃

Definitely had stuff it in my bag at times!
