My dad, brother, and I went backpacking in Baxter State Park and climbed the four main peaks of Mt. Katahdin: Pamola, Chimney, Baxter (5267 ft), and Hamlin. The Knife Edge is an extremely narrow ridge connecting Pamola to Baxter. We stayed in a lean-to at chimney pond and were lucky to have beautiful weather. The views were fantastic.

For an aerial view of where we were: try google maps. Anything that looks like a mountain, we climbed over.
