The Hardest Hikes in the U.S.

[@MojoTravels]

We're obviously aware of and deeply concerned about the global pandemic, and are choosing carefully what to publish as forms of escapism and entertainment to help ease thoughts of anxiety, and provide an alternative from the news. We are obviously NOT encouraging anyone to travel now or discouraging social distancing. Have you hiked any of these expert trails?

I did Barr trail last week. It was a very long and tiring day

[@NotCloudy15k]

honestly, I think that the Maroon Bells (Colorado 14er) should be on the list. It is a class 5 traverse, high exposure, loose rock, LOTS of route finding, and plenty of avalanche risk during winter. The mountain, being a 14er provides high elevation, and often gives climbers altitude sickness causing them to turn back. It is also a very technical route.

[@aliensoup2420]

At some point a distinction must be made between a "hike" and a "climb". This list is non-technical hiking - basically feet only, no hands required.

[@BWC_Annihilator]

How is Cactus to Clouds not #1?!

[@searchenginekings]

Almost 11000 ft of gain, starting in the heat of the desert floor of Palm Springs , ending on snow covered peak of Mt San Jacinto? Not on the list? Illegitimate list

[@aliensoup2420]

I've done 3 1/2 of these. The 1/2 is the Kalalau Trail - I only hiked the first 2+ miles to the first beach inlet. I've also done the Grand Canyon, Half Dome, and Teton Paintbrush/Cascade canyon loop - all 3 very epic hikes. Mount Whitney should also be on this list - 21 miles RT to the highest point in the 48 states is more challenging than these other mentioned 3 hikes.

[@randystraub3012]

I enjoyed the video, but expected to see the Mount Whitney and Cactus-to-Clouds hikes on this list. Both are significantly more difficult than Half Dome. Thank you!

Barr's Trail. The only way I'll ever do it is running the Pikes Peak Ascent. Plenty of support, and finished it in 6 hours 22 minutes and 47 seconds. Got a medal, a beer and the most of all, the donut of the day at the summit gift shop.

[@DoyleMurphy-u7e]

I did the Manitou Incline and descended Barr Trail two weeks ago. Barr Trail was rough going down and I was glad I had hiking poles

[@dantheman1624]

What’s with the photos…out of kilter arches instead of Grand Canyon, Yellowstone for paintbrush…do more homework

[@EdiPooH9]

Terrible list and picture choices. They know nothing

[@Lisztianpiano]

I have climbed three of the presidentials. The traverse isn’t that bad because it’s on a very walkable ridge, but it’s a one way hike, and most hikers who do it stay overnight at huts along the way. I don’t think it should be on this list.

[@laurajones1773]

The main reason the Kalalau Trail is so hard is because it’s muddy and slick. The whole trail is filled with mud. It gets muddy because it’s in a rainforest and the wetter part of Kauai. It gets hundreds of inches of rain a year. It’s the hardest hiking trail I’ve been too. Also, the most beautiful hiking trail. It has incredible views of Na Poli Coast.

[@reelhappytravellers2691]

Like so many others videos from you, this video is a true inspiration, thank you!!!!!

[@thunder123961]

I wonder what Mt Shasta would be on this list?

[@amanadhav9514]

no katahdin knife's edge, denali, or 14ers

[@thrummer1953]

The Trail coming up from the Parking lot is a real Ankle-twister; Talking about Mt Katahdin

[@amanadhav8156]

Yep especially the cathedral grove trail

[@jimgreen5788]

Mojo Travels, excellent list! May I point out that "Napoli" is Italian for Naples, but the trail in Hawaii is pronounced "nah POLLY" (Na Pali)? Also, I've backpacked both the north and south rim trails at Grand Canyon, and I feel the tougher one of the 2 is the North Kaibab, in that it's 1000 or so feet higher than the South Rim, is much longer, rougher and steeper, and thus takes much longer. Plus, there's only 1 water stop on the 14-mile route, as compared to 3 on Bright Angel. I needed only 4 hours in on Bright Angel, and 6 hrs. out the next day on S. Kaibab, but I needed 10:45 coming out the following year on N. Kaibab. Also, these 2 are the "walk in the park" trails at Grand Canyon, with a number of serious challenges in the park's back country.

[@Thomaswasujade]

I love watching mojo travels. Great contents always! Would definitely try that trail in Hawaii one day!!

[@goncalobaia1574]

3:34 But it actually is a walk in the park. A walk in the Grand Canyon National Park.

[@DryBonesOutdoors]

What about fiery gizzard trail?

[@ragged73]

The last bit on the Pemi Loop showing the narrow ledge is NOT on that loop or even in that area. That's Table Rock.

[@zinho9169]

they coulda used the rock sticking out like that on bondcliff

[@NickandRachel]

Awesome! We'll definitely have to check out some of these places! Would love to make some videos are there

[@JoinMyTrip.]

Truly stunning photography - every shot is poetry 👀❤️‍🔥

[@fjgret]

I’d just like to add that some of the photos in the video are not attributed to the trails. Rather they are from other parks in the same state often

[@huajie666liu8]

Wow it is another way to introduce these atrractions. But unique angles. Thanks.

[@PM2024-]

Acadia’s Precipice Trail 🪨

[@jordanhamann9123]

Wow, the northwest mentioned twice! The pictures were kinda all over the place, though.

[@gumerzambrano]

My hardest hike was here in LA. Mt. Wilson 14 miles round trip

[@high_time5411]

In la ? What was the trail was it worth going ?

[@brandonmcglynn]

I guess we’re ignoring alaska and zion national park in utah

[@GuadalupePicasso]

‘Tis a pity y’all didn’t include the Devils Path in the Catskills! Me and a friend did it one day last year, starting at 630am and finishing at 1130pm, with my odometer clocking in at 28.7 miles (official count tends to be around 25) with over 10,000’ in elevation gains alone, not to mention descents.

[@murryshorts7680]

Yes

[@jahgents4095]

Wow

[@jayenje]

❤️❤️❤️

[@LoganCharlesII]

I think I'll pass on that 41 mile hike

[@mandiraroychowdhury2386]

Wow🥰😍

[@guygallivanting]

Is there a Top 10 Long Distance Hikes in the World?

[@jaswantsinghrao2901]

Hiii

[@jeffreyramsdell4781]

Hiking the pitons in st Lucia holy fuck

[@dillonsmith2882]

I went 3 miles into Bright Angel Trail yesterday. The way up is super difficult, not even so much the climb but mostly the dust

[@djcogdill9263]

I expected the Appalachian Trail to be here.

[@gypsywind43]

We are about to hike this in March..headed to Katadin if you wanna follow along..I actually came here thinking the via ferreta hike in telluride Colorado would be here

[@Accomplished_Loans]

Try using correct photos of the hikes next time. Downvoted.
