N O O O O WAY... EVER!!!
❤ From Australia
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).
I went in February, was easy to sign up.. Not so packed which to me is the danger of it.. (hence the limit)
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!
How long do you wear your hair? I admire that feature, can you describe it and how it looks on you?
😊😊
@@RachelFitEater How stunningly long do you keep your hair? I admire ladies that grow theirs that way, describe it please?
@@danielobrien1571really? Go pay what she charges….she isn’t gonna explain her hair for you……for free. I had super long past my azz most my life, I’m a strawberry blonde….but men like you….it’s why I so HAPPILY chopped it off years ago….screw having hair THAT long…..that requires THAT much time and effort everyday…..just for a man, when 99.99% of the time he can’t something even remotely similar 😂🤷🏼♀️🙄🤡
@@6Haunted-Days I was complementing her profile picture, I admire woman that grow their hair luxurious lengths and find it to be the most beautiful.
It's a shame you did that to your hair, woman that keep it long and thick like Rapunzel's are the most attractive of all. Besides, it's fun to brush it or play with it so that you can appreciate it more and they keep it that way mostly for attention just like that.
Hellll nah!!! Watchee in You Tube Only😂
You are braver than I am. I can’t even bear to watch it on youtube🫣
He'll noooo
Nope, I'm good and I REALLY enjoy nature 😅
happy to be watching this from my couch
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. 🤙
I visited the HuaShan trail 20 years ago, there was no protection back then, what a madness memory!
Very happy to see your message :)
Nope, never, not me!
Oh, hell no! 👀
The commentary on this video is really well written. Makes a nice change from the rest of the internet. Kudos.
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.
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.
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.
At least you went when it was the real Camino. All the added safety features just ruined the whole hike.
@@hydro.pl.27 This is typical again. As soon as something is in disrepair, it is either torn down to remove the eyesore, or renovated to the point where the whole scene looks like shit , just to make money from it. I still remember the old camino, and that's enough. They won't earn a single penny from me.
Not worth the danger!! I’ll see the views from a distance on my couch!!
No .. just no. None of them. I had to put a seat belt on in my arm-chair whilst watching this.
😂😂😂I’m with you plus I had a panic 😂😂😂
Those last two look terrifying, no cup of tea is worth that.
Not even a cup of gold is worth that!!
On the #1 Trail, I am guessing you don’t ever come down from it!
You just become a Buddhist monk and stay there until you die…
It’s a one-way road, apparently! 😂😢😮😂😂
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,
You go up but you still have to come back down😅😅😅 just seems like a fool's errand.
Yep!
On the #1 Trail, I am guessing you don’t ever come down from it!

The Half Dome ascent isn't technically part of the Mist Trail, but yes, it is terrifying!
Did I really see small children being carried up one of these trails? Quite unbelievable!!
Yes you did and yes, it is!
I like to be outside and explore but I don’t know about these hiking trails 😮
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 😳
When I got to that part I had to rewind to be sure I had seen that correctly. Insane!
It's okay. She has many children remaining at home.
@@funnyk2755this should make me upset but it’s funny as ****.
@@lizettewanzer8650also the first 2 miles of this trail are not too dangerous and I’m sure she was just doing the beginning but i could be wrong
Child endangerment
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.
Luv the classic commentary. Absolutely clever!! lmao
You couldn’t pay me all the money in the world!!! lol
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.
How were those hand and foot anchors placed in the mountain side?
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.
This is crazy, I’m sure they are traumatized 😭
@@Jaxon_Klein It was awful 😞
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.
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 TH-cam o get a drone for a birds' eyes view
✌✌
World's amazingly dangerous hikes. They are so adventourous and challenging to peak of our fear.Thanks for unveiling such challengfull locations on heights.
Crazy!!
Im sweating just watching this … no way in heck can I go anywhere any of this. Absolutely not.😱
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"
Thank you!!
Seriously? I saw a woman carrying a baby on one of so called the Most Dangerous hiking trail…
How in earth did they build some of these.
Crazy
Love Angel's Landing ! We've hiked this several times, epic views !!
I have a better view to all of it from my couch!
Mount Washington is just next Door to Vermont. Quite the experience!
I choose life😮
Nuts!!!
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.....
Enjoy your couch life
Amen to that!!
On the #1 Trail, I am guessing you don’t ever come down from it!
You just become a Buddhist monk and stay there until you die…
It’s a one-way road, apparently! 😂😢😮😂😂
Oh & yes lug your napping toddler along!
Insanity 😬
wow good video
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.
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.
Who put the frikkin planks up!!! 😳🤯
우와~~
대단합니다!
심장이 쿵닥 쿵닥 ~무서워요!
마츄피츄 가보고 싶어요~
대 자연의 웅장함에 감탄하며, 영상 잘 보고 갑니다~굿~!
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 !
Would you be a lady with very long hair? Can you describe it and how it looks on you?
If it's not raining, I would like a stroll in the park.
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.
Ya, agreed-I’ve been up to camp Muir a dozen times in my life- just to ski down the snow field-and the terrain in this vid doesn’t look anything like the real hike-this vid at least of camp Muir-is bogus
Waw, I’d any of them but the one that’s hot and humid, and probably has millions of mosquitoes. NO NO AND NO 🤕
I'll take the bus thanks.
I love a flat beach
I choose staying at home rather than go with them.
For those that don't know the location of the trail from the name, the country, state, would be helpful.
Interesting...i know a couple of idiots who are looking for challenges, kudos
Yep
Go to Romania : Fâgâraš (very steep pathes) and Piatra Craiului (steep and very slippery rocks), it's pretty dangerous and hard
I hike in Colorado and there are plenty of trails that dont require a will before you go. I will stick with that❤
These places are very cool that would be my worst nightmare as I’m absolutely terrified of heights😮🫣
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.
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❄🏂⛷
WOW 👏
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.
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,
Very good dang rouse stearate
Very Beautiful
Great
Very beautiful❤
No thank you. I'll just watch...
Amazing place ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨🤩
Yeah, I’ll pass cause I rather keep my life 😳😅
Yep, me too.....
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).
Not too much? 😭 that Machu Piccu one looked like the scariest trail on this list by far
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)
@@NiOriginal Lima is a cord memory for me, i remember a cat park if some sort there when i was a child visiting. (Like a park FULL of stray cats)
@@Jaxon_Klein Peru is stunning, with the exception of Lima 😂 in my month and a half in the country I’ve been in Lima for a night (the one before I caught my flight out of the country). Actually, I have to go back to explore a lot more, especially in the north.
Utah looks like a different planet.
Nope, mt Washington I'll take the cog railway thankyou.
When I climb I enjoy it
No need to put one's self through that fear.
ive done angles as a kid its not bad
and its not that hot depends what timer of year
How the hell is 1:07 not the most dangerous of all?????????
No LITERALLY nobody is talking about that trail. By far the scariest lmao
They’re not even hooked up to anything 💀
Yep!
Nah, the hardest hike was the kne my mortage rate took, nearly crippling me
Some of these cliff hangers? Oh hell no.
Nice video
naw
There are different categories of via ferratas, means they are plenty of easy onces which even 6 year old kids go.
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.👽
Put the pipe down juju 😭😭
@@Jaxon_Klein it's Master Juju punk.
@@MasterDavidAaronWarrington lmfaooo ntm 👩🏼🎤
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.
These adrenaline thrill seeker types are insane all the way!
They don’t care if they die. They don’t value their lives.
It is very sick, really!
#idolatry
Do you have any other suggestions of dangerous hiking trails? Let us know in the comments!
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 🥺
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.
Precipice in Acadia is not as dangerous. But it’s certainly interesting to hike.
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
Anyone who hikes this trial Mount washan is absolutely insane crazy one missed step and it a long way down to the bottom but you half to be insane crazy to walk this. Path
adrenalin junkies!!! Nothing better to do than get this adrenaline addiction satisfied.
How many people have died on this "trail"?
Why?! That’s all I’m asking. Why?!! 😮
Thrill seekers! Need more adrenaline to spice up their lives.
Poor things. 😢😢
Most of such people don’t know when to stop on time
On the #1 Trail, I am guessing you don’t ever come down from it!
You just become a Buddhist monk and stay there until you die…
It’s a one-way road, apparently! 😂😢😮😂😂
Safeonthecouch😇
No and Hell No
On the number one: how the hell do you come down if that is the way up ??
I am guessing you don’t!

7:27 carrying a baby is a good idea for hiking
why
I won’t dare.😱
凄いとしか言えません。
I’ve done the Drakensberg it was fantastic not scary and angels landing isn’t scary either
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
How arrogant do you have to be to assume something isn't dangerous just because you've never had issues?
@@samueltilly8528 I didn't say it was dangerous....I said it wasn't VERY dangerous...the trails arent steep, they are well maintained. There are always rangers on basically every part of the mountain...not to mention the road and coag trail. There are signs everywhere. Places to camp everywhere. 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. It's about equivalent to COVID. The percentage is so low it's not even funny.
@@jsalas5400 I think the reason why he's got it listed so high is if you try to hike it during the winter or a storm, you're going to be out of luck. But you're right; on the ideal weather condition days, there's nothing too out of the ordinary like a massive drop off or steep scrambles.
@@SR71_Blackbird while that is true. During winter if the weather is severe they won't let you hike past the tree line and often force you to hike the auto road instead of the trails.
Yeah I feel like they based the list on fatalities, which can be any number of factors
