Most of these are only dangerous because they are easily accessible to thousands of unprepared, inexperienced, out of shape people who don't understand what they are getting into. You could throw a dart blindfolded at a map of southern Utah and probably hit a dangerous canyon/hike, just for example. The only reason you don't see a ton of accidents down there is they are super remote and most people can't access them, which is a good thing. The ones that take the trouble to get to them typically know what they are doing. Denali summit should not be on here either. That's not a hiking trail by any stretch of the imagination.

It's kind of a stretch to call climbing Mt. Rainier and especially Denali, "hiking trails". 😂

I feel like a lot of the reasons why some of these trails are labelled as dangerous is due to unpreparedness, inappropriate gear, and overestimation of fitness.

Very surprised Angel’s Landing isn’t on the list. That last portion to the summit is a bit terrifying.

Half Dome hike in Yosemite can also expose you to severe lightning storms during the summer. I made it to the base but ran out of daylight in late fall, so I trudged back to the valley. On the switchbacks down (very few people on trail) I heard a noise, and sure enough two young bears were coming up the slope. They saw me, and we watched either for a couple minutes, I hiked on to a switchback corner and watched as they made it up the slope to the trail above me. That was about 40 years ago. I still remember that hike.

You forgot to mention that Mt Rainier is one of the most glaciated mountains in the country which means it’s common to come across massive crevasses. Falling inside one of them is almost always a death sentence.

As someone who’s hiked a lot of trails in the Smokies, Abrams Falls is a joke compared to most of them. Yes, it has technically seen the most deaths, but that’s literally just from people swimming at the falls. Some of the remote trails following creeks on the NC side of the park make Abrams Falls look like a walk in the park (pun intended).

I can attest to Mt Washington having loss three friends over the years on it. I've climbed it some 96 times including times on search and rescue. You always need to be prepared whenever you are hiking no matter the size or distance of your outing!

I remember doing Washington, in the middle of the winter. It was my first time on Washington but not the Whites, we previously failed the presidential traverse in October but I wanted to get Washington so I mustered my ounce of mountaineering experience and a friend who was dumb enough to try it. We starting driving to Pickhams notch the day before, 13 hours away. We drove through the night, Swaping roles driving and napping. We pulled into Pickhams notch to tackle the Tuckerman ravine trail and it was eerily quiet. Without a full nights sleep, we made haste and starting the slow hike through the snow, deep enough to bury a knee when stumbling off trail. The way to hermit lake shelter proved difficult as it put us around numerous ski trails I was not familiar with. Just starting off we were lost, but we found our way and made it to the shelter. It was empty, nobody there nor any signs of activity within the last few days. We read the signs and starting our way to Tuckermans ravine. The bowl was far out of sight beyond the thick white clouds. Our second mistake was coming off trail at the frozen water falls. We traversed through 45 degree banks of snow, kicking steps to toward the alpine garden. Once we found ourselves on trail, we checked compasses and maps while being beat with 60-80 mph wind. After confirming that we were headed south/south east onto the ridge, we stopped again for a snack. Yelling through the wind, we exchanged Oreos and I cradled them in my undexterous gloves. After having the only calories available for the next few hours, we went into alpine mode, head down, step by step, from cairn to cairn. I felt heavy, weak, but still calm and determined. The road begin to appear ahead of us and then the buildings started poking through the white out. We slowly, after falling multiple times, got to the top of the stack of rocks that marked the peak. "Is this the sign?" John, my partner, yelling through 100 mph gusts now. I took my axe, struck the rime ice covering it a few times, and like magic it sheered off uniformly. We made it. Exchanging pictures and selfies, we made quick work of documenting our success, but we still needed to get down. We elected to take the sure path of the road, winding down to the glen. The road faced right into the wind, and I began seeing only a haze of rose as my Oakleys froze over. Rime ice was collecting on my goggles now. "JOHN!" I yelled, panicked as his black blob of a figure moved too deep into the white for me to see him. Trained in patrolling, his habitual checks saved me. He looked out at his sector, cover, buddy, 'buddy?' He realized I wasn't behind him and made his way back up. Scrapping the rime ice off before I realized what was happening, he grabbed me and walked me down into cover. We made our way off the mountain slowly, ducking under the wind now, we were thawing out. Our down insulation did nothing to keep us warm now, wet with melted snow. Only our movements kept us alive.

Did rim to rim last month. For those that don’t know, it’s bright angel trail, but you go from one rim all the way to the other. 24 miles in around 10 hours, temps reached 106 degrees, and almost two miles of elevation drop and gain. It was absolutely brutal. My brother got wicked heat stroke, and we all could barely walk the next day. One hell of an experience I don’t recommend lol

Me, who likes the outdoors and doesn't need any more bad ideas: *clicking on this video as fast as possible*

I grew up hiking Mt Washington NH in all seasons. I’d say the many of the people who got in trouble on the mountain were not prepared for any changing conditions.

Not at all surprised to see Mt. Washington at the top of the list. Huge number of unprepared hikers. However, even experienced well equipped hikers can get into trouble. I once helped an experience hiker who slipped and fell into a stream. All his gear was soaked and then temps dropped. It was bad.

The "White Mountains" are not nicknamed that for the snow (which is not covered year round); but rather, the high content of mica in the exposed granite across the summits, slides, and various exposed slabs across the range (and region in general) that glisten in the sun.

The Maze in the Canyon lands doesn’t seem dangerous until you are about half way through it. It’s hot. Really hot. There’s no water. They airlift water tanks at certain spots, but they are easy to miss. And there is no guarantee that they will be there. And it is so remote, the quiet is actually deafening. But, it is also breathtaking.

I'm surprised Central Park New York didn't make the list.

I was very surprised that the Kalalau Trail along Kauai's Na Pali coast was omitted. I wouldn't attempt any of these trails, but I'd do any one of them before I hiked Na Pali. There are places along that trail that hug the cliff so narrowly and so closely that it's almost like walking a tightrope.

I’ve done the #2 Half Dome/Mist trail hike alone twice without any problems . It’s a 16 mile round trip with a 4000 foot elevation gain from the valley floor to the top of Half Dome. It ranks #1, as far as I’m concerned, for fun and enjoyment! 😎 The overwhelming sense of accomplishment is well worth the effort.

Angel's Landing not being on this list invalidates the entire list.

I've been on the Bright Angel trail in summer thirty years ago. Half way down the trail it hit 105 degrees. I turned around. When I got back to the top I heard that someone died on the trail the same day.

I’m surprised the Angel’s Landing hike in Zion NP didn’t make the list

I live near Mt Washington and hiked it probably about 2 dozen times.. out of those times..i've been in 60 mph winds with about 20 ft visiblilty and some of my fellow hikers kept getting knocked off there feet.. also doing the huntigton ravine one time was a gorgeous day until we got out of the ravine..beginning of august and we had light clothes plus forcasted to be a nice day.. on top of ravine to the summit clouds closed in and it was down in the upper 30's..can't remember what the wind chill was but when we reached the summit we were so cold we couldn't even open a bag of chips in the cafeteria that's at the top... we got lucky that time.. We've mostly had great experiances but those two definitly stand out as not so good.. ..great video ..

As someone who has hiked 5 of the listed trails and Mt. Washington 13 times, some basic preparation goes a long way. Mind you, these are not the most difficult trails in American. Tell 100 random people to climb the Grand Teton and maybe 5 will make it down safely whereas ~85 could finish Mt. Washington with only some tired legs. The easy access and lack of knowledge is what makes most of these so dangerous.

Back around 2000, my platoon at Ft Carson decided (well, the Captain did) that we would all go hike Pikes Peak. First real hike I'd ever been on. Took a lot out of me, but gave me a love of hiking in return.

The Kalalau Trail in Kauai should definitely be in this list. Something like 90 people have died on it. Mt McKinley (properly called Denali) has no business being on a list of hikes. It's not a hike in any way shape or form.

In July 2021 I drove up Mt. Washington and in the visitor's center they had a sign listing all the recorded deaths in the area. I seem to remember there were deaths almost every year since the listing started. The vast majority of the deaths were from exposure including in the summer. There are signs on the hiking trails saying it has America's worst weather.

Great list! Be sure to check out Angels Landing and the Yosemite Falls trails too. They are dangerous as well.

I’m surprised Angel’s Landing in Zion didn’t make the list. It felt so incredibly sketch when I did it, and it wasn’t helped by the line of people behind you hurrying you and sometimes literally pushing you forward while you are trying to watch your step…

As a teenager I did most of #2 when my dad took me and my brothers to California to Yosemite and Sequoia. Like the dummies we are, we climbed up with no gear as far as we could on the waterfalls then we did the trail with the guardrails and got to the top and got in the cold water near the edge of the waterfall. My dad was pissed we were running off. Met some cool squirrels that wanted our granola bars. We did not do the mountain climbing part but we did climb uo the slipper waterfalls a lot. Its a miracle we didn't fall to our deaths.

I hiked Abrams Falls in the Smokies back before I had any idea what I was doing. Tennis shoes, khaki shorts and a small backpack with essentials. The trail itself is far from dangerous, all the deaths are from drowning swimming near the falls because of the under current. Any hypothermic issues are likely due to unprepared hikers on an insanely busy trail out of an insanely busy part area of the park.

I summited Mt. Ranier in 1995 with as part of a 7-day course in alpine mountaineering at the climbing school there (I highly recommend them). We had a lot of fun and no problems, but later on I climbed with a guy who survived the avalanche that killed a bunch of climbers on exactly the same route. I've been up Mount Washington solo in July. Maybe soloing wasn't the best idea, but as far as conditions go, if you go in summer you're mostly safe so long as it's a good weather day and you start before dawn, which I did. The worst thing about it is that the "trail" below the treeline is an old logging road that's washed away to its roadbed, which is just a bunch of boulders. So you're not walking, you're hopping from boulder to boulder (The Kalalau Trail on the Na Pali Coast in Hawaii is like this too, but for different reasons). Above treeline, there's really no trail at all: you just scramble from cairn to cairn and the problem is if clouds close in or there's any precip, you might not be able to see the next cairn, which is how a lot of people get lost. You might want to check out Hawaii for some pretty dangerous trails. I know the NaPali Coast has seen people get swept out to sea because they come across a lovely beach mid-hike and think they'll go for a dip, then get swept out to sea by unpredictable currents or rip tides.

I would hardly call Mt. McKinley a hiking trail... 🙄😆

As a former Colorado resident, the most deadly mountain was Long’s Peak. Mostly because it is so close to Denver and popular. The easiest route know as “The Keyhole” isn’t a picnic and a real lung buster with some crazy exposure through the “Notch”. If you get up early, have good weather and in good shape then no big deal. If you are caught beyond the Boulder Field in bad weather, run out of water, or not prepared for a cold night, then good luck making it out. Other 14ers are far more difficult but they don’t get the crowds, thus the high death rate as Long’s. But if you do make it, totally worth it!

Done Mt. Washington 3 times. 2of those on complete thru hikes of the Appalachian Trail. Just stay smart and have a good support system. Know your limitations and respect them. Happy Trails

I've spent many summers on eastern Sierra trails and I always watch the skies. Rule #2 is to get off exposed ridges and trails above the tree line by 2PM. Thunderstorms there are like clockwork in the summer. Spent a few lightning storms in my tent sitting on my air mattress and pack and hoping that was enough insulation from ground strikes. Barr Trail is the same way, get back to the trees by 2PM. Also check for snow levels at higher elevations, even in July!

Good video. I hiked the Bright Angel Trail in its entirety, and while you are correct about the heat being the most difficult thing about the trail (it was 120 deg towards the bottom when I hiked it), it is otherwise the easiest, most traveled trail by which to hike to the bottom of the canyon, the Kaibobs being steeper and without available water.

Kalalau trail should be on here. It is the most terrifying hike I've ever done. I thought half dome and Angel's landing were very easy in comparison.

It took me 2 years to find this video and as a kid my parents would always take me to the White Mountains and would stay at a lodge in Wofesboro on the lake and as I got older I started going to Moosehead Lake in Maine and that’s how a city boy feel in love with the country !!

I’ve done bright angel trail. It’s true it’s very difficult but so are most Grand Canyon trails especially in summer. You really need to heed park service warnings about summer hiking!

I've done 4 of these. One they left off is the trail to Angel's Landing in Zion National Park. Another is the Precipice Trail in Acadia National Park in Maine.

I have climbed Mt Washington twice -- once in the summer -- had to change into wind pants and jacket. amazed at the crosses in the ground above 5,000 feet where people got lost in bad weather. There is a sign telling you to turn around if the weather is bad at the sign. The other times was in the winter with a professional guide. There are stories of trucks being blown off the road -- I think the highest wind speed in North America was recorded there. The climb is not for the unprepared or the physically weak.

I live in Alaska and yeah Denali is dangerous. (McKinley we changed the name back to honor the native Alaskans) A hiker just went missing 3 days ago and his body was just found. The park service up here said it will be at least a week before they can go retrieve it.

I climbed Mt. Washington this past year as part of my 2021 AT thru hike. I was fortunate to have good weather for my Mt. W summit day and the following day so that I had good weather for the 12 mile stretch of AT that runs above treelike before and after Mt W. I can only imagine how difficult that stretch would be in strong wind and snow or rain.

Sometimes it takes being smart to overcome a lot of these obstacles. I was hiking inland in florida in august, with the heat index being at some ridiculous number and the actual temperature close to 100... Combining high temperature and high humidity is more dangerous than a simple high temperature. You can cool down thanks to sweating even some extreme temperatures. No one was hiking the trail I was on, getting out of the car felt like walking into an oven. The way I made it was 1) a backpack full of water 2) frequent rests and a deliberately slow pace. If my pace was faster I'd probably faint due to heatstroke, same if I didn't pack ridiculous amounts of water. Pushing any kind of physical limit can end in death, it's not very smart.

The thing that really make trails the most dangerous, is the weather conditions, or danger of leaving the trail I've done a lot of hiking and backpacking. As long as I know my limits and plan ahead its not dangerous

I tried hiking the Barr trail back in 2009 and started seeing clouds forming. I turned around to go back. I was not even above the tree line but did not think it wise to continue on.

So many wrong facts listed in this video it's comical.

Hey, I hiked Bright Angel Trail, Grand Canyon. Fortunately, September 1, 2021--two short rain squalls; one lasted about 5 minutes, the second lasted about 15 minutes. I would have said South Kaibab Trail is more dangerous. Bright Angel Trail hike is mostly in shade and with relatively gradual slopes, while South Kaibab Trail is in the bright sun, with steep slopes, resembling steps. There is no water available on South Kaibab Trail, till you get to Tip-Off point, and that water has to be treated before drinking.

The Mist Trail was beautiful. Don’t do anything stupid and you are ok. I was there last year. Yosemite opened June 5th 2020. Wilderness permits only. No one was there. Well, maybe 15 people at most. Where I was at least. It was weird how it worked. It just happened to be Yosemite opened when my permit was scheduled and I would have only cancelled at the last minute to save the plane tickets. But Half Dome was easy. Going down in good conditions was sketchy. The granite has been so highly traveled it is slick without water even if you have good shoes or boots. I went down face first. I’m guessing that if one backs down you’d have a better center of gravity. But what fun is that.

My husband has hiked Bright Angel Trail in Grand Canyon, as well as the whole family hiked the Mist Trail in Yosemite several times. We never tried these in winter though.

Interesting list, no mention of the Zion's Angels landing or the narrows. Or even Palm Springs Cactus to Clouds. Also Denali (formerly known as Mount McKinley, it is wrongly referred to this video) is not a hiking or backpacking trail, it is a mountaineering route. There are major differences, including technical equipment and training, that put this in a different category then a hiking trail.

"As the state of Colorado has the highest elevation of any province in America..." 1.) False. That would be Alaska. 2.) We don't call states provinces in America.

I've hiked the Knifes Edge on Mt Katadin in Maine. It's only a quarter of a mile long. So what's the problem? The shear drop offs on the left and right side of the trail. You will walk this ridge keeping your eyes forward, looking to the left and right makes you realize how high up you are. I was severely scared of heights before I walked this. Funny but I lost that fear. This trail is considered the toughest on the East coast.

The Mt. Whitney trail can be dangerous when climbing up the switchbacks plus the real possibility of lightning strikes on the ridges during the summer months and surprise snow storms at other times of the year. But, what would life be like without a few challenges? This is where skill and training come into play.

The top of half-dome is where I acquired my fear of heights. Didn't stop me from doing the Haiku trail in Hawaii though, which WTF how is that not on the list? Just because it's illegal now. Breathtaking beauty and danger.

I was hiking on the Barr trail in March back on like 2016 coming down from the incline. It was still very icey and I didn’t have spikes. I slipped and fell, and was exhausted due to the trails zig zag because it’s can’t go straight up due to it being so steep. I almost called search and rescue. But after crying for 20 mins I managed to get myself back up and managed to finish it.

Though I’ve never climbed Denali (The Mountain), I’ve gone hiking in Denali Park 100’s of times. Talk about breath taking views, abundant wildlife, and amazing trails. One of the best perks to living in interior Alaska.

It was with great curiosity that I watched this video. I couldn't believe that one of the trails I've been on numerous times was considered to be one of the 10 most dangerous hiking trails in America. I couldn't wait to find out what made it so dangerous, because I've been oblivious to that danger every time I was on it. I realized I never hiked it to the end. Maybe that was it. I knew it gained elevation after the point that I usually turned around, but I never heard of anyone falling. Maybe it has something to do with the abundance of rattlesnakes and scorpions that are native to the area. Maybe it has something to do with part of it being right on the border with Mexico. If that's the case, it sure has changed a lot since my last visit 2-1/2 years ago. Imagine my disappointment when I got to the end of the video and never saw a story about the Santa Elena Canyon Trail, in Big Bend N.P. So it wasn't really a dangerous trail after all. Thinking back, it's really just a trail from the parking lot down to the banks of the Rio Grande, with a fork going up one side of the canyon to an overlook. Most of the time the water is shallow enough to walk across to Mexico. But I guess it should get some kind of recognition for being selected as a thumbnail to represent the 10 most dangerous trails in America. No bear spray required, but don't forget your sunscreen.

I've hiked Mount Washington twice, the first time I went up the Jewell trail and back down via Lake of the Clouds, and the second time we went up Tuckerman's and back down via Lion's head! It was brutal!

I am surprised the “little Grand Canyon” and “Pomona natural bridge” trail isn’t on here. It’s a fairly short trail but it’s not marked and really easy to get lost. It sits in the middle of Shawnee national forest, larue Pine Hills, and Illinois state forest. If you end up lost you can get so deep into the forest you can’t get out. College kids go out there all the time in workout clothes and with only a bottle or two of water and end up getting air lifted out.

I started to take a casual stroll (not even a hike) in Canyonlands and came across a set of fresh lion prints. I am allergic to cats, especially to large cats that might look on me as dinner. That was the end of that.

Do the 100 mile Tevis Ride. It starts over near Lake Tahoe and ends at Auburn California. Horse riders traverse canyon walls at night often at a trot. They condition and qualify to do this ride. The most I did was 50 mile rides. A 25 mile ride just west of Yakima Washington took us up and down the mountains to ride across saddle backs. I’m afraid of heights and sliding your horse down elk trails is not my favorite thing,but I love this sport. The trails the events use can consist of just about any terrain and condition. My average for 25 mile rides was 3 1/2 hours. Fun stuff.

Spent 4 days in Yosemite in July! The mist trail is amazing! Half done on the other hand was tough an sketchy as hell it was with out a doubt worth it in the end but it's not for the faint of heart!

I have hiked most of these and enjoy challenging trails. I know this list is compiled from data but that is based by those who are unprepared. Angels Landing should be #1. The Precipice in Acadia could be on the list as well as Buckskin Gulch in Utah. Please comment with recommendations of any other challenging trails. Always looking for new adventures!

I’ve done half dome, upper Yosemite and angels landing are probably the hardest I’ve done so far. Mist trail was easy in my opinion. I’ll be don’t 93 miles around mt rainier on the wonderland trail in a few months.

Climbed Mt. Washington numerous times, a day after we summited, a snowstorm hit the mountain in June and left many stranded. It’s a dangerous mountain.

I really want to do the half dome in Yosemite. I think I have it in me but I'm just not very experienced yet so I'll work up to it

Luckily Rainier's not going to erupt without warning. The reason it's considered to be so dangerous is because it'd just be impossible to evacuate all the people in the danger zone even with warning, and because of all the essential infrastructure that would be destroyed. That said, wherever you hike, do your research, and be prepared. Have the equipment and supplies you'll need, and consider potential accidents and emergencies before you go!

Maybe this should be Titled "Most Popular Dangerous Hiking Trails in America", Bright Angel trail in the Grand Canyon aint even close to being considered a "Most" dangerous trail. It's a corridor trail, yes its right in the village so lots of tourists who probably know little about canyon hiking see it and decide to walk down it, only to go way to far and also don't realize whilst mornings on the rim can be cool it can hot up pretty fast as the day goes on the more you descend. Even the other South Rim corridor trail is more dangerous South Kaibab, no water, no shade, no campgrounds to you hit the bottom. Nankoweap Trail could possibly be the most dangerous, even Escalante, Tanner, and New Hance are more dangerous than Bright Angel. It's also quite possible that even some of the even more remote trails are more dangerous yet.

Just like others said, many of the trials are on the list because they are easily accessible. Mt Whitney is definitely a challenging one on my list. The 6000 ft elevation gain over 11 miles of strenuous trail are difficult enough, not to mention the high altitude of 10k+ ft, which can cause severe issues to under-prepared hikers. The weather on the notorious 99 switchbacks and trial crest are somewhat unpredictable. Even experienced hikers turn back due to the snow storms and strong winds. It is one of those trails that require God's blessings to complete. However once you make it, the scenery is spectacular and unforgettable. Certainly once a life time experience.

I have hiked Mt. Washington several times and unexpected severe weather is surely a concern. That said viewing some of the other trails covered in this video I would gladly hike Washington again over almost any of these others.

My son and I hiked up to Vernal then Nevada Falls and that was treacherous enough especially the stone steps going down. One wrong move and that would be it. Incredibly beautiful and breathtaking.

I’d swap out the Barr Trail on Pikes Peak for The Keyhole Route (or any other route, really) on Longs Peak. Longs faces many freak weather patterns, like Pikes, as both are situated in the Front Range. In addition though, the proximity to Denver and residing in Rocky Mountain National Park makes it an attractive hike for many inexperienced climbers. However, it is a very long and technical hike that many are not prepared for. These factors have led to Longs Peak claiming more lives than any other 14,000 ft peak hike in Colorado.

5:25 Ive taken that trail many times. Its usually people who dont hike very often, go all the way to the bottom, and realize that they still have to hike back out.

Regarding #6, the South Kaibab Trail is in some ways a tougher Grand Canyon hike than the Bright Angel Trail. It provides a shorter route to the canyon floor, but is steeper and more importantly offers less shade. Also, unlike the Bright Angel Trail, there's no potable water available along the way (you only have what you carry with you into the canyon). I did the South Kaibab Trail from the top of the South Rim to the canyon floor and back two years ago in early September. Went into the canyon with 6 quarts of Gatorade and a water bottle, and had drunk nearly all of it by the time that I got back to the top.

I’m surprised Barr trail on Pikes Peak is on this list! I’ve hiked it several times and it feels like one of the safest trails I’ve been on haha storms are a real thing, but you just have to make sure you start early 🤷🏽‍♀️🤍

Just finished Barr trail in Colorado on Wednesday true what is said here near the top of the tree line there’s a section we’re I would say at least 70% of the trees been hit by lightning

I climbed Mt Washington every summer for many years. Went up both sides over a three day visit.

My dad hiked Mt Whitney several years ago, & we hiked the Mist Trail as a family when I was 12 & my little brother was 10. My dad & brother also hiked the Grand Canyon together, but idk which trail(s) they took. My brother got himself in some trouble on that trip b/c he didn't follow my dad's instructions about hydration & also hiked a bit ahead of him with his friend. My dad caught up to them & my brother ended up in the hospital due to dehydration & heat exhaustion. He's okay now, of course. Stay safe out there, y'all!!

Angels Landing? Precipice Trail in Acadia?

I have done two of these trails - BA numerous times and Mt. Washington. While Grand Canyon hiking does have some inherent danger the problem is unprepared hikers. Angels Landing in Zion on the other hand is inherently risky with extreme dropoffs exacerbated by too many hikers and should be #1

Me my dad, uncle and cousin climbed the mist trail after climbing Half Dome. My dad slipped, it was so freaking scary. Thank God he was okay.

The inclusion of Denali is baffling. None of these trails remotely compare to the danger, difficulty and extreme conditions on Denali (Mt. McKinley).

The hike to Abram's Falls has a lot of deaths because A LOT o people hike it. Great Smoky Mountains is the most visited National Park, and that trail is super popular. It's not a very dangerous trail

Great video ❤️ 👍 It was very nice to see you all have a wonderful time and doing many nice activities

I've been non of it. Hopefully I can start checking them out. Thanks 😊

For people who are interested, the dangerous trail on Mt. Washington is called Huntington Ravine trail.

Wow, I would not have guessed that Mt Washington was the most dangerous! I live in New Hampshire, been to the top of Mt Washington by car. It does seem we always have a handful of hikers go missing or end up in need of rescue every year up there. I guess I never really thought about it. The State of New Hampshire charges people for their own rescue if they determine that reasonable precautions weren't taken to avoid becoming lost on the mountain. It never ceases to amaze me how people will climb Mt Washington in the dead of winter. It storms, they get lost, have to be rescued. Those are the ones that pay for their own rescue. Plus, the mountain roads are closed in the winter, so what is the point of climbing it then? The fastest windspeed ever recorded was at the top of that mountain, again......what's the point of climbing it in the winter? 20+ years living here and I'll never understand it.

I did hike to Muir in the summer a couple of times, it wasn’t so bad. I can definitely see how it can be deadly, because in the spring and fall I attempted and had to turn around because of white out conditions

May everyone find joy in their outdoor adventures. Personally, mine is at a lake cabin cooking for loved ones in Northern MN. That brings me joys and we do take shorter hikes when the bugs are down. Be safe, enjoy your passions 🌺

The Grand Canyon as hot as Death Valley? I don't think so.

probably the most sketchy/dangerous hike i have ever been on was a hike up hex mountian. it was not that strenuous but once i got over a small ridge i was faced with a narrow trail on the top of a narrow ridge that had cliffs on both sides at some points, and also 50 to 60 mile winds with huge gusts. not to mention countless fallen trees over the trail because of the wind and a cold, pelting rain. i turned around because of the conditions but some of my group kept going to she summit and apparently someone had to cling to a rock to avoid being flung off by the wind.

Wow! Me and some buddies did the Abrahams trail on a whim. We just saw there was a trail inside of cades cove so we figured we would try it. We went in with NOTHING not even realizing the hike we had ahead. Plus we all had on was regular street clothes and some nikes. But let me tell you it was a experience I would never forget man… the walk was beautiful and not as dangerous as this video makes it out to be 😂

I was surprised by Mt. Washington. Nice video!

You missed the most dangerous US trail; it's in Hawaii, the island of Kaui, ascending the Na Pali coast. A perilous traverse. You slip; you fall; you die.

You have not mentioned any trail walks through the Mojave Desert of Death Valley. Many of peoples have gone out in both areas and have died because they have underestimate the heat and the amount of water needed.

Mt Washington in the winter is a lot of fun. Go up at least once a year. Either as a hike or as a technical climb of one of the ice gulleys. 60mph is a good day in the winter. Have to pay a lot of attention to the weather and avalanche conditions and pick your days carefully.

Barr trail is awesome! I love that hike. I always stay at Barr camp when I do it, great community hostel type environment. The lightning storms are true. Last time I did it we were well above tree line about 1-2 miles from the summit and storms coming in with hail and lightning. My girlfriend was dragging and wouldn’t let me carry her pack to hurry up. I thought we were dead. Obviously, I didn’t die but it was scary.

As someone who lives at the base of pikes peak, it is definitely dangerous but certainly not THE most dangerous in our state. The maroon bells kills more than pikes peak does as 1 example

I'm not saying it takes out more people than some of these hikes . Camelback mnt though , here in Phx Az takes out a substantial amount of snowbirds and tourists every year here . I feel it should be on here for sure. I mean part of the hike is called suicide trail . Its scary and insane compared to some of these hikes on here ☠💀💀🤷‍♂️
