Bald Head Cliff is about halfway between York and Ogunquit. The face of the cliff is the side of a dike of igneous rock rising approximately 75 feet above the water level.

The Cliff House can be seen atop the cliff in this postcard. The hotel opened in 1872 after Elsie Jane Weare, wife of Captain Theodore Weare, saw the opportunity to capitalize on the upcoming Boston and Maine Railroad spur to York and purchased Bald Head Cliff. Elsie planned the hotel, hiring her brother, Captain Charles Perkins, to build it using wood cut from nearby family land and milled in their sawmill on Beach Street in Ogunquit. The hotel remained in the family until 2014.

The caption reads, "Trail to the Gorge from Cliff House, Bald Head Cliff, Ogunquit, Maine."

The Tichnor Brothers printing company published this type of postcard circa 1938.
