The Most Dangerous Hiking Trails In America

most of the deaths you listed on mount washington are due to small plane crashes....cog railway crashes and medical episodes...not deaths due to weather and terrain.

Devil's Path is incredibly strenuous but not dangerous. Barely any climbing and no exposure.

Most of the people who have died on Mount Washington were experienced hikers and climbers who chose to climb in dangerous conditions. Sometimes, no amount of preparedness and experience can save you. When in doubt, turn back, it's not worth your life.

I recorded a -5 with the windchill and 70 mph gusts in the first week of november about 25 days ago on mt washington....

Surprised Angels Landing is not in the list?

Ah, yes, The United Provinces of America.

I was waiting for this one - Huckleberry Mountain with 563 grizzly bears determines this to be a very unsafe hike. But given your statistics, ten deaths since 1967 (55 years) makes your argument pretty weak. Why make sensational stories about an animal that prefers to be left alone? Why always equate wild with savage?

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

Mt. McKinley is now officially Denali. And rescuers charge the climbers for rescue.

Pike's Peak is one of the least dangerous of the CO 14ers. It's long, but easy terrain. These lists are never accurate but that one's not even close.

Why do so many people want to do this when they're are disaster zones or ways to serve the less fortunate

Well who made these trails?

Wow, this video really shed light on some of the most treacherous hiking trails in America. It's both thrilling and nerve-wracking to see these breathtaking but extremely dangerous paths. The footage and narration gave a sense of the challenges and risks involved in venturing on these trails. Kudos to the hikers who dare to conquer these trails and to the video creator for showcasing these remarkable but perilous adventures. It's a reminder that nature demands our utmost respect and that safety should always be the top priority.

The Maze isn't really a hike so much as a whole district of the park. It's probably used for overlanding and mountain biking more than hiking

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 🌺

that's bc there is always some idiot who has barely any experience hiking, coming along on a hike absolutely unprepared, out of shape and just underestimating (or under appreciating) nature

U forgot angels landing

Mt Washington is in the top 25 most prominent mountains in the us it is by no means small

Half dome is way too high on this list

"yeah we need the close the park down cause there's too many bears ...you can go at night though!" 🤦🤣

this guy doesnt know about longs peak

Chigago south side

Abram's Falls is completely safe, unless you don't respect the rules.

Given the accessibility and the high number of deaths and unprepared hikers that try it, I can’t believe Longs Peak is not on here.

Hearing about bears makes me so happy that I live in the UK cause we have no dangerous predators here!

I experienced 115 degree temps in Death Vally NP .... For about 12 minutes. Then I got back in my car and drove back to Las Vegas!

Hey Mom, I'll be right back -I'm going to "hike" Denali 😊😆🤣

Most of these are tourist hikes lol

Hottest temp EVER in the US was 134 in Death Valley, California. Nowhere in the USA do temps routinely get to 130, as you say. Just be honest: The video stands alone as outstanding. You don’t have to lie to us to make it more interesting. — Also: It’s Denali, not Mount McKinley. McKinley never even saw that region of the world. — Neither did Admiral Rainier, Captain Vancouver’s good buddy. What a ridiculous name! That mountain should be called Tahoma.

Hiked down Bright Angle trail in July. Only did 2 miles down. The hike up is all up hill. We were prepared with plenty of water sun screen and long sleeves and hat even though it was in the 80 degree range.

Apparently this guy's never been attacked by the geese at my local state park

Pretty sure Denali rename was well before this was published.

The statement that there is snow on Mt. Washington year round made me doubt everything else he said.

I don't think classifying Mount Rainier as dangerous because it's an active volcano is warranted. It's not going to just erupt at any moment without warning. I have been on the Camp Muir trail, which is easily accessible as a hiker. From Camp Muir, it looks like the summit of the mountain is close, but as someone who has summited the mountain told me very directly, "the climb from Muir is completely different from the hike getting to Muir". If you're in good shape, you can get to Muir as a hiker in the summer. Only experienced and appropriately outfitted climbers should ever go beyond Muir.

This list is definitely wrong

I dont think its fair to call Mt. McKinely a "hike" lol. Thats climbing a mountain not going on a "hike"

the White Mountains in NH don't have snow on them all summer ... but since a lot of people climb them and the weather can get ya ... problems happen

You lost me at subscribe and like.

Misinformation. The "Mist trail" in Yosemite takes you to Vernal and Nevada falls. The steps up to Vernal get wet by way of mist from the falls. When crowded and if lack of focus happens, it definitely can be dangerous. But I believe you meant the "Glacier point trail"

This video didn’t include the old trail I one found on the backside of a mountain that follows down a 70 degree slope.

130 degrees in the Grand Canyon? It gets hot (100f) but nowhere close to that.

The most dangerous thing about these trails are idiots with selfie sticks making stupid videos about how dangerous these trails are.

Published in 2020 and you still called Denali by the wrong name

Its pronounced Denali

Long's Peak in Colorado should've made this list

Your voice is annoying....and content lacking. Boring....

this was an awesome video!

The White Mountains of New Hampshire do not have year-round snow on the highest summits. Many of the highest summits are bare rock and appear white from a distance.
