Hiking is one of the joys of life. What can be better than to go out, get some fresh air and enjoy the wonders of nature.
There are places whch stretch the idea of hiking a bit. A long stretch…The following video on The Wolrd’s Scariest Hikes is one of those which distorts the idea of hiking for enjoyment. It is a hike of terror.
It’s called El Camino del Rey.
You are given a hikers eye view as you go up a mountain trail. You start the hike by stepping on metal pegs which are embedded in the side of the mountain. And for added balance, there are handholds. Hang on for your life!
Each step can be riddled with extreme danger. This is after all a hike not for the feint of heart…This may be the world’s scariest hiking trail.
What was most amazing to me is that at points in the hike there are acutally stairs. I had to wonder, who would build these…and why.
Also there are parts of the hike which is paved. These are paved portions which are basically being held in mid air. Then you come to a part of the hike which has been washed out…
Totally amazing.
I’ll enjoy this hike in the comfort of my own home.. thank you very much.
