7.The Barr Trail, Manitou Springs, Colorado
This hike, known to some as the Pikes Peak Hike, is reported to be one of the area’s most difficult and dangerous. Much like the Mount Washington trek, this is a 12-mile hike to the top. You will need between six and 10 hours to complete it depending on your personal level of experience. The elevation here is more than 7,500 feet which makes it a real challenge. Still, should you complete it, you will be rewarded with an astounding view of both Pikes Peak and Manitou Springs makes it all worth the effort.
6.Angel’s Landing, Zion National Park, Utah
The infamous Angel’s Landing hike averages two deaths each year. It has an elevation of 1,604 feet and is rated as “hard.” It is a 4.4 out and back hike on a trail near the city of Springdale. The trail is initially reported to be “heavily trafficked” because it is generally used for nature walks and short hikes.
Although experts suggest hiking this trail between February and October, it includes some significantly narrow sections and even includes bolted chains you can use for handholds. Despite these safety measures and pre-hike precautions, the hike remains notably nerve-wracking due in part to its intimidating sheer cliffs. Ah, but those who conquer their fears and complete the trek can relax on the peak and take in the magnificent view as they dangle their feet over those same cliffs.
