If you are scared to trek, then all places are very dangerous. I take it as a sportive adventure and so i have never felt any place as a dangerous one.

There are some risky sections of trail, but I look at them as calculated risks. One of my favorites spots above pasadena I will only travel one way. It is a scramble. maybee a 5.5 on the old school sierra club influenced scale. Meaning you should probably use a rope to go up. I have been down it, and people do all the time, but for my safety I toss a rope down a waterfall, and rappel back down into the canyon bellow where I simply walk out. Why do I take this risk? Well If you ever get into the upper reaches of Eaton Canyon, then you'll know.

No. The truth is i dont want to take risk. I do trekking occasionally and so i just want some adventure and so i dont want to risk my life trekking dangerous places.

I have found that many unknown places not in th e usual trekking circuit are quite dangerous and quite beautiful at the same time...if you go the path less travelled you will find danger as well as a charismatic view never seen before....

I don't trek and real dangerous places. I tend to stay away from places that are right on ledges with steep drop offs. Just not comfortable trekking them.

Most dangerous place I ever hiked...Hands down, downtown Atlanta.

Start at Peachtree and Pine, site of 300 bed men only homeless shelter and the most crack dealers you'll ever see. Cross over Peachtree street, under the interstate and the sleeping bums, to the Georgia dome. You are now in gang territory. Stop at one of the many liquor stores to resupply, and head back home if your still alive.

If you get in trouble detour to the GA tech campus and use one of the blue police phones.

Never any place physically that I can think of. However I still remember as a kid playing in the woods with friends. We came upon a farm with a big shack in the middle and a white limo and a black limo parked in front. Still not sure what to they were doing there, but we didn't stay long enough to find out.

I like to walk the Cornwall Coast Path, it is beautiful, but in places it is scary because the path is just a narrow track right at the edge of high cliffs with the sea or rocks a long way below.
