MOST DANGEROUS Hiking Trails! 

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).

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

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!

happy to be watching this from my couch

N O O O O WAY... EVER!!! ❤ From Australia

Nope, I'm good and I REALLY enjoy nature 😅

Hellll nah!!! Watchee in You Tube Only😂

No .. just no. None of them. I had to put a seat belt on in my arm-chair whilst watching this.

The commentary on this video is really well written. Makes a nice change from the rest of the internet. Kudos.

Crazy!!

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. 🤙

Not worth the danger!! I’ll see the views from a distance on my couch!!

우와~~ 대단합니다! 심장이 쿵닥 쿵닥 ~무서워요! 마츄피츄 가보고 싶어요~ 대 자연의 웅장함에 감탄하며, 영상 잘 보고 갑니다~굿~!

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.

Nope, never, not me!

Love Angel's Landing ! We've hiked this several times, epic views !!

World's amazingly dangerous hikes. They are so adventourous and challenging to peak of our fear.Thanks for unveiling such challengfull locations on heights.

I visited the HuaShan trail 20 years ago, there was no protection back then, what a madness memory!

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.

People do like to walk on the edge. These trails make summiting Mr. Everest see easy. While these trips are terrifying and dangerous, I am addicted to watching them,

I like to be outside and explore but I don’t know about these hiking trails 😮

Luv the classic commentary. Absolutely clever!! lmao

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.

Oh, hell no! 👀

I would willingly pay money NOT to go on these hikes! I'm amazed when I hear " but the views at the end are worth it". Erm, no they are not! No view on earth is worth risking your life for. I absolutely love nature- but safely! The last two hikes were beyond insanity. 🤯. So many unfit and unprepared hikers. They could not only injure/kill themselves, but cause the same to another hiker. The mother with her baby in her arms? Beyond belief! The selfie/ photo taking was astonishingly naive. Risking your life for an Instagram post. Madness.....

I choose life😮

wow good video

Seriously? I saw a woman carrying a baby on one of so called the Most Dangerous hiking trail…

Those last two look terrifying, no cup of tea is worth that.

Crazy

The Half Dome ascent isn't technically part of the Mist Trail, but yes, it is terrifying!

Amazing Views Personally i wouldn't dare attempting any of these Trails. Puts too much wear n tear on my joints But it's great for adventure n thrill seekers to explore, "if" i wanna see what's at the Top i'll just watch it on RU-vid o get a drone for a birds' eyes view ✌✌

You go up but you still have to come back down😅😅😅 just seems like a fool's errand.

Did I really see small children being carried up one of these trails? Quite unbelievable!!

How were those hand and foot anchors placed in the mountain side?

Hi, I'm going to be hiking a dangerous, difficult trail while holding my toddler in my arms. Do you see any problem with that...? 7:20 😳

I lived on Kauai for years..the Kalalau trail was nuts. One time there was a field trip to the trail and a teacher fell off the cliff to her death and all the students were stuck on the trail til they were rescued.

Mount Washington is just next Door to Vermont. Quite the experience!

Very beautiful❤

Very good dang rouse stearate

Very Beautiful

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.

Amazing place ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨🤩

The last one was insane ! Going up to the summit can be a great highlight of course, but most accidents are on the way back, because of beeing exhausted or less carefully or the weather condition has changed rapidly....Anyway it was a great post !

Most of your scenes supposedly showing the Camp Muir hike, were taken around Burroughs Mountain, on the other side of Mount Rainier. Almost none of that section was actually shot anywhere near the Muir Snowfield. Makes me wonder how authentic the rest of this video is.

Nice video

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"

You couldn’t pay me all the money in the world!!! lol

How in earth did they build some of these.

Oh & yes lug your napping toddler along!

I choose staying at home rather than go with them.

WOW 👏

Nuts!!!

Who put the frikkin planks up!!! 😳🤯

Great

Im sweating just watching this … no way in heck can I go anywhere any of this. Absolutely not.😱

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.

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.

Go to Romania : Fâgâraš (very steep pathes) and Piatra Craiului (steep and very slippery rocks), it's pretty dangerous and hard

most of Sahayadri ranges trek in Maharashtra, India are similar. and many of them are more difficult than the list here. look up for Dhak Bahiri Trek, Harihar Fort Trek,

For those that don't know the location of the trail from the name, the country, state, would be helpful.

Camp muir on Mt. Rainier Washington state looks a lot like mt. Lassen in northern California. The terrain is strikingly similar. I live about 2 hours from mt. Lassen. Never been to mt Rainier but i have snowboarded on mt. Baker Washington and that powder IS NO JOKE pure powdered sugar❄🏂⛷

If it's not raining, I would like a stroll in the park.

ive done angles as a kid its not bad and its not that hot depends what timer of year

I hike in Colorado and there are plenty of trails that dont require a will before you go. I will stick with that❤

Utah looks like a different planet.

I'll take the bus thanks.

Stupidity to the Nth degree. Do you really not care if you die or worse, if you are paralyzed and in pain the of your life.

naw

Waw, I’d any of them but the one that’s hot and humid, and probably has millions of mosquitoes. NO NO AND NO 🤕

Yeah, I’ll pass cause I rather keep my life 😳😅

Every time I think about doing this I start taking my med's again, because stopping your pills can make you do some really dumb things, like going out of the house lol.

The Mist Trail in Yosemite is not dangerous. What’s dangerous is going beyond the handrail, *off* the trail, to climb over the wet granite boulders to get a better view. That’s where you have a good chance of slipping and falling into the raging river.

I love a flat beach

When I climb I enjoy it

There are different categories of via ferratas, means they are plenty of easy onces which even 6 year old kids go.

Interesting...i know a couple of idiots who are looking for challenges, kudos

In 2007 I spent 2 nights on the top of Mount Huashan the last trail in the video. The second night an absolutely enormous spaceship decloaked above the mountain peaks! That place is a Stargate to another world or another time perhaps both. The ship appeared grown not built if that makes any sense and its manifestation was connected to Orion's belt.👽

How the hell is 1:07 not the most dangerous of all?????????

How many people have died on this "trail"?

No and Hell No

I won’t dare.😱

Some of these cliff hangers? Oh hell no.

Caminito del Rey, right now, isn’t dangerous at all! It’s very very easy, actually. I think Huayna Picchu is a bit worse (although not much).

No thank you. I'll just watch...

Nope, mt Washington I'll take the cog railway thankyou.

On the number one: how the hell do you come down if that is the way up ??

No need to put one's self through that fear.

凄いとしか言えません。

Nah, the hardest hike was the kne my mortage rate took, nearly crippling me

I'm afraid I'd have to disagree about Angels' Landing or Mist Trail being particularly dangerous.

I’ve done the Drakensberg it was fantastic not scary and angels landing isn’t scary either

I see it's not I say sir it's very dingirose sir watching here in Philippines

adrenalin junkies!!! Nothing better to do than get this adrenaline addiction satisfied.

El caminito del Rey was open a couple of years ago after a brand new wooden platform was built atop the original trail. It's so much so that it has in a way lost its original magic (and danger, of course) and it is a completely safe tourist attraction. Perhaps too much so.

Só os hiking dangeroso

Safeonthecouch😇

Why isn't half dome on this list?

Mt Washington is really not very dangerous. Hiked it many many times since my early teens and never ever once had an issue.. But the wind on top is crazy for sure

That’s the definition of insanity
