9.Muir Snowfield, Mount Rainier National Park, Washington
This hike that starts on the well-known Skyline Trail requires a lot of preparation. This hike covers a round-trip distance of only nine miles, but don’t let the jaunt through the wildflower meadows fool you. The weather quickly changes here and there is a rather challenging 2.2-mile vertical climb. The elevation here is 2,800 feet too.
It is the altitude that is blamed for many accidents here. Actual mountaineers have frozen and died here attempting to reach the top. It’s important to heed all caution signs and warnings here as well. Be sure to pack food, water, and all the required equipment required for this icy trek. The view of the tall seracs, glaciers, and Mt. Rainier is incredible if you make it.
8.Mt. Washington Trail Peak, New Hampshire
Massive Mount Washington is the tallest mountain on the US’s northeastern side. This surprisingly 12-mile hike includes an elevation of more than 6,288 feet. Weather conditions here can be extreme and somehow that makes it popular with the adventurous types.
Winds can be as high as 231 miles per hour. Nonetheless, this is one of the state’s most popular tourist destinations. Completing this dangerous peak trek requires some physical training and preparation in order to avoid any injuries.
