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!

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

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).

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

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.

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. 🤙

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

[angel.heart]

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

[bradleyvanzile]

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

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 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.

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,

[StuuuuuTube]

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

[overwatchxrescue]

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