The Knife Edge Trail is a unique trail just outside of Bandlier National Monument, near Los Alamos, New Mexico. The trail takes you out on a skinny mesa (hence the name) to a stunning viewpoint with panoramic views over the desert and canyons. There is no shade on this trail to start early or wait until cooler weather!

The Knife Edge Trail is a unique rocky trail just outside of Bandelier National Monument, near Los Alamos, New Mexico that gets harder and harder as you ride. The trail takes you out on a skinny mesa (hence the name) to a stunning viewpoint with panoramic views over the desert and canyons. There is no shade on this trail to start early or wait until cooler weather!
