The Trail
This easy trail is only 1 mile long (one way) with just a 78 foot elevation change. This trail follows part of what once was the narrow Knife Edge Road, which was built in 1914 as the main access to the park. When the Morefield-Prater Tunnel was built in 1957, this section of the road was no longer used. The trail overlooks the Montezuma Valley, and is said to be a great place to watch the sunset. Pets are not permitted on this trail.
