MOST DANGEROUS Hiking Trails!

[@topfives]

Do you have any other suggestions of dangerous hiking trails? Let us know in the comments!

[@Jaxon_Klein]

The Haiku Stairs in O’ahu, otherwise known as “The Staircase to Heaven of Hawaii” to the US Naval radio station! Not the most dangerous but definitely would be worth mentioning, both the legal way (Moanalua Valley ridge trail) and illegal way (Haiku staircase). They are removing the staircase soon 🥺

[@Jaxon_Klein]

Also how the **** did you got almost 700k on a hike ranking video in 2023 in less than 2 weeks? 😭 congrats though! That’s crazy.

[@urcookin]

Precipice in Acadia is not as dangerous. But it’s certainly interesting to hike.

[@thelakeman5207]

Angel's Landing in Zion National Park, The Precipice in Acadia National Park in Maine and the Knife Edge on Mt. Katahdin, also in Maine. Done all three, all heart stopping.

Huashan mountain china

[@gemfyre855]

The Huashan plank trail is an offshoot of the main trail, you don't have to go on it to get to the top. Thrillseekers love it though, but everyone is securely clamped onto a cable. What amazes me is that in the past people carted MARBLE up the almost vertical trails and built temples up there!

For those who want a similar experience for Angel's Landing (which now requires a permit, and they limit it to some 800 people per day) you can stop at Scout Lookout, which gives great views of the Canyon without the extreme risk of going all the way to the summit (which the hardest part of Angel's Landing is what is known as the "spine"). Scout Lookout is about 80% of the way up, and is where the chain link fence starts. Another great hike that gives you a great view of the CAnyon that is not anywhere near as dangerous is the Canyon Overlook Trail (it also takes less time, but parking by the trail heat is tricky because it fills very quickly and you have to get there early to get a spot).

[@edwardsullivan5884]

I went in February, was easy to sign up.. Not so packed which to me is the danger of it.. (hence the limit)

Vancouver Island Canada has some of the best hikes Ive ever done. That Island is a magical place filled with hidden gems everywhere you go. Glad i got to do a road trip out there and if your an extreme hiker i suggest putting the West Coast Trail on your bucket list. 🤙

[@javiTests]

18:11 I'm from that region and I walked "el caminito del rey" when I was a kid. Definitely they were other times because it didn't have any place to grab yourself and it was very very dangerous and we did it anyways (I was 10 years old maybe...), but nowadays is opened FOR EVERYONE! The views are still the same, but the new path can be walked just fine if you can normally walk. They give you the helmet, just in case some rocks falls on you, but that's about it. My mother has walked it and she was 75 at the time. So you can guess how difficult is to do it nowadays. Now I'm wondering how many lies this channel tells in these videos 😂😂 Please, come and visit. It's very safe and amazing! If the winds are too strong, they just cancel the walks on that day, but it's kind of rare.

I was on the Camino del Rey with my then wife about thirty years ago. The 'bridge' that you see at 19:20 in the film was already without railings but with holes. Although we were almost at the end we went back because the wind was so strong in the gorge that we were afraid of being blown off the bridge. Although we turned around, this tour was very worthwhile optically. Two days after we were there, a woman was blown off this bridge into the deep gorge below. Even if the whole scenery is something unforgettable, here's my tip : Explore this path via youtube, but stay at home on the sofa it's healthier.

[@tellinitlikeitis5321]

Was on this trail in April of 2022 and it is now a busy tourist destination and perfectly safe with old and young traveling along it. There are no missing sections. It is not even remotely dangerous since they added all the fenced in boardwalks. But don’t go if you don’t like heights.

[@michaelzbytovsky2717]

El Camino del Rey does not exist anymore. The redone and rename El Caminito del Rey is very very safe. It is a very popular organized group of all ages tourist attraction.

[@swithinbarclay4797]

The rest of the Mist Trail's routing to Half Dome was omitted. At Nevada's top, you're definitely lulled into false security as you soon come to the long flats of West Little Yosemite Valley that lasts about a mile, then a stretch of MANY mildly strenuous yet safe and forested hairpins up a morainal deposit that's never too far from HD's backside. That ends up on a mostly flat yet broad knife-edge ridge plateau that is still relatively safe . . . until the trail RADICALLY changes at the base of HD's Sub-Dome. From there on out, it's VERTIGO CITY. SD's highly uneven stairs seem to have gradients of 100%+; the individual steps are often a foot or more tall; and, covering almost impossibly tight and narrow hairpins--MANY of those, with drop-offs obviously greater than 100% off of the trail proper. If NOT for those stairs, you'd obviously need to be a technical climber. You think your anxiety attack/vertigo is over, once you've crossed that little summit?? NO WAY!! You drop down the yawning saddle to the cables taking you up the Main Dome, and your anxiety has just pegged, GONE OFF THE SCALE!! The only way to salvage your mental and emotional state, until summiting Main Dome, is to believe with ALL OF YOUR WILL and nerve, that these cables, and the 2X6 planks at the stanchion bases are actually safe, which they truly are. Otherwise, panic may overtake you and with potentially lethal results, as you get off the track and sail off into merciless infinity. The Dome's summit is mostly a rolling gentle granite plain, with only about 7 bush-like pines & junipers. Do not go towards the edge overhanging the great Southwestern VERTICAL face. That bit of merciless infinity, is nearly a mile's worth of unbroken drop into the Valley proper. You're well advised to SLOWLY crawl on your belly, if you think you can handle the highly sickening sensation!! When you see stone staircases on Yosemite trails, think of Cirith Ungol's stairs, from "The Lord of the Rings"

El Caminito del Rey is not what it used to be. Look for videos of the original trail, it will blow your mind. I walked a short section of the trail some 40 years ago and it scared the hell out of me. In order to get to the starting point of the trail you had to walk through a railway tunnel which I luckily managed to exit before being hit by an express train. It was definitely not for the faint-hearted.

My grandfather fought in PNG during WWII. On the trek to Milne Bay he was woken up by a massive croc, the Angels thankfully took care of it very quickly and we have an amazing photo of him standing on top of it with a couple of the Angels with him but yeah, Kokoda is not a particularly safe place.

Your video of the "Camp Muir Trail / snowfield" was nowhere near the Muir Snowfield -- this was mostly shot Northwest of Little Tahoma, the sister peak near Rainier. The hike from Paradise up to Pebble Creek is actually straightforward as is the transition to the Snowfield. The actual hike up the snowfield is a straight shot with very little danger, other than rapid weather changes. The trip down from Camp Muir to Paradise can be done in about an hour given glissading and fast-hiking the trails.

Not too much? 😭 that Machu Piccu one looked like the scariest trail on this list by far

[@NiOriginal]

The majority of it isn’t that bad but, near the top, the stairs are really narrow and you almost have to “climb” them, they have ropes to help you. But the rest of it is fine. I’m scared of hights (or at least I thought I was) and reached the top just fine. And I’m not an experienced hiker. Anyway, both hikes are super worth it (specially the Machu Picchu one, It’s a very special place in a magnificent country - I love Peru very much)

Corsica's GR20 should probably get a mention... tbh a number of these trails are pretty pedestrian. Hiking trails are not typically dangerous - providing you're surefooted, have a decent head for heights, and in reasonable shape (i.e. fit and healthy), even the relatively inexperienced could cope just fine with a number of these outings. Plus, "candid camera" isn't always candid.

And base to top it's 'only' about 5 miles which makes getting to someone very straightforward as long as they don't go off trail, which even then. There are tons on the mountain....oh an those 180ish deaths they mentioned in the vid, is out of 250,000 that visit the mountain each year.....so give or take over 3 million people have visited the mountain in some capacity (def higher than that) and less than 200 people have died.
