22 Most Dangerous Hiking Trails Ranked

#4 Mount Hua Shan, China

This trail is literally a series of planks nailed to the side of a cliff with a chain for holding your grip. To reach the planks you must first climb up a ladder. Eventually the planks run out only to be replaced by footholds in the rock. Rumor has it about a hundred people die per year on this treacherous trail.
