The Sandia's classic Knife's Edge is among the most impressive scrambles in New Mexico. Here, I describe what I believe is the most intuitive loop for mountain runners/scramblers who want to challenge themselves. This common variation of the Knife's Edge offers a shorter, yet more technical option that is guaranteed to keep you on your technical A game the entire time. 

the route:

Wanderung auf und in der Nähe von alten Gemarkungsgrenzen rund um die Karlsruher Bergdörfer Grünwettersbach, Palmbach und Stupferich.

Empfehlenswerte Jahreszeiten: im Frühjahr die blühenden Streuobstwiesen, im Herbst die Laubverfärbung, sowohl im Wald als auch bei den Obstbäumen auf den Wiesen und Feldern.

Der Rundwanderweg wurde am 3.5.2015 im Rahmen eines Stadtteilprojektes zur 300-Jahrfeier der Stadt Karlsruhe eröffnet.

Description:

Black Butte & Gray Butte are both classic Central Oregon training routes for local trail runners.  While the runners are busy running up, down, and around these two buttes local cyclists frequent the Sisters to Smith Rock Oregon Scenic Bikeway which connects the town of Sisters with Smith Rock State Park.

I ran across Pennsylvania from Colliers, WV to the middle of the Benjamin Franklin Bridge, which divides Philadelphia and Camden. So I traversed the entire state. Originally intended for it to take 7 days, but thunderstorms, a tornado and high temps extended that trip to 10 days! 167 hours, 30 minutes of total trip time, including breaks, and finished just under the 10-day mark. I did this run to raise money for The Trevor Project, and support LGBTQIA+ youth suicide prevention.
