Knife Edge and Bear Rocks Hike7-mile out-and-back hike on rocky and tricky terrain, some nontechnical rock climbing, and many fine views as we approach the peak of foliage season. Not for those with balance issues or fear of heights.
An out-and-back hike with many breathtaking views, but challenging due to the generally rocky footing and the narrow stretch of tilted quartzite rocks known as the Knife Edge, which we will traverse twice. Bear Rocks is a large irregular stack of quartzite boulders (some as large as tractor trailers) that requires some hands over feet climbing, but offers amazing 360 views from the top. This hike is not for those with balance issues or fear of heights. Sturdy hiking boots are a must. Bring at least two liters of water and food/snacks. No pets please. Rain cancels.
