This epic trail to the South Peak of HuaShan, one of China's Five Great Mountains, is often billed as the most dangerous hike in the world...

The DMZ between N & S Korea?........................
If CNN reports it. No matter what it is. I don’t believe it.
More like 22 miles of up and down.
Does it include the most dangerous one in the world, that being the one through the CNN Studios while in operation?
Going up Hill 881S.
I ha e been on the HuaShan. Yeah, tough walk.
Sounds like fun.
The Texas/Mexico southern border is the most dangerous by far.
GAHHHHHH!
Nope.
No mention of urban parks after sundown.
I would have thought the most dangerous trails would be in democRat controlled inner cities.

[This old manmade cliffside path was built over a century ago in southern Spain to get workers to difficult remote locations to build a hydro project. Workers led donkeys laden with construction materials along this path. Helicopters were not even a fantasy!]

I like how they trust that thin rock ledge over the wooden one!
The weather observatory at the top has been known for wind gusts of 200+ mph and has a 24-hour average at 110 mph on record. So imagine a trail walk under those conditions!
I was there in the fall. Almost Heaven, West Virginia!

Yeah, El Camino del Rey gives me vertigo just watching the video.
