5.Devil’s Path, Catskill Mountains, New York
You can brave the dangerous Devil’s Path in the popular Catskills. While it is one of the country’s most underrated hikes, it has a challenging height of approximately 14,000 feet and seven peaks. It has a number of difficult, steep vertical climbs that are reported to be the cause of not only frequent rescue efforts but an alarming number of accidents each year. Again, preparation and knowledge are what can make the difference between completing the climb or a terrible accident.
4.Abrams Falls, Great Smoky Mountains, Tennessee
While this hike may only be five miles in total, it still remains one of the most dangerous hikes in the nation (even if it’s also the shortest). The elevation here is 1,800 feet and, more importantly, the current of the water here has been described by experts as “deadly.” This historic fall was actually named in honor of the well-known Cherokee Indian Chief Oskuah, who reportedly changed his name. Once you reach the top of this risky trail, you will discover that the views are spectacular. Check out the Great Smoky Mountains!
