> Striding Edge, Lake District, England
The Lake District's famously changeable weather can make even the most bucolic of strolls a challenge.
>The Maze, Canyonlands, Utah, United States
It's the most remote part of Canyonlands, with visitors needing to negotiate long drives on dirt roads before setting out into the deep gullies, where rockfalls and flash floods are not uncommon and water from the area's few springs is hard to come by...
>HuaShan, China
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...
>Giro del Sorapiss, Italy
Hikers will need harnesses for clipping into the lines, as well as a helmet and ideally a guide who can provide the requisite equipment and show the way.
>Drakensberg Grand Traverse, South Africa and Lesotho
An epic, 230 kilometer (143 miles) journey that can take up to two weeks to complete...
>Cascade Saddle, New Zealand
"only for people with navigation and high level backcountry skills and experience,"
>Kalalau Trail, Hawaii
22-mile "out and back" along the Na Pali Coast
>Huayna Picchu, Peru
"stairs of death"
>Kokoda Track, Papua New Guinea
To prepare for the sweaty days and bitter nights in this remote corner of the world, organizers recommend training for up to a year.
>Daikiretto Traverse, Japan
one that's as close as they'll get to a technical climb without the need for ropes.
>Mount Washington, New Hampshire, United States
Conditions can flip at any minute, meaning you'll need to pack winter gear even in the height of summer.

I’ve done all but the one in China.
I would never lie. LOL.
But flying puddle jumpers doesn’t. Weird how that works.
That's close, just behind getting between Chuck Schumer and a TV camera.
There’s a trail I walked with friends in Switzerland overlooking Lake Zurich. It was rather terrifying because a lot of erosion had occurred. Attempts had been made to shore it up but still very scary. Another hike I took was 8 miles from Gaming Austria to a pilgrim church (I forget the name). Very scary hike but there was a bar halfway there. LOL.
“Striding Edge, Lake District, England The Lake District’s famously changeable weather can make even the most bucolic of strolls a challenge.”
Can happen in the Yorkshire dales as well.
Really big NOPE!!!
Walking the sidewalks of Nancy’s San Fran is a high risk slip-fall hazard.
Yup—They could have done some actual reporting walking through the worst parts of Baltimore, Philly, Newark, Detroit, Chicago, Atlanta after midnight and comparing notes....
The Maze is hard to get to, but I wouldn’t say dangerous particularly. But then I’m cnot someone who’s never left the city before.
I would say a midnight walking tour of East Harlem.
In every major city in the east there is always an MLK Bvd. Take that for adventure.
Thats the one I remember watching.
No damn way.
Rattlesnake Avalanche Blizzard Lava Eruptive Fissures Grizzly Mountain Lion Scenic Stroll should be avoided. Or bring a slow friend.
Interesting. I spent several days in the other two parts of Canyonlands with a good friend a couple decades ago, and we loved it.
We did not get to this location, though.
Chicago or Philadelphia?
MOST dangerous place in my hallway when the wife is mad and throwing things.

“there is always an MLK Bvd. Take that for adventure.”
Hot and humid summer nights add a little character to the hike.
;-)
LOL! So True!
I guess you won’t be seeing this then (movie Fall).
