Knife Edge Trail is a favorite of ours. Relatively easy, it is a 2 mile out and back trail from the trailhead at Morefield Campground in Mesa Verde National Park in southwest Colorado. While the trail is fairly flat, it goes along the edge of the mesa and skirts a beautiful cliff face – the Knife Edge – with great views of Sleeping Ute Mountain, Montezuma Valley and Cortez, Colorado. It follows a portion of the original treacherous entrance road into Mesa Verde.
