A dangerous trail with a sharp cliff on both sides

One reason for hiking’s long-lasting and widespread popularity is the ability to choose whatever level of danger and challenge you want. So while some might prefer lazy day hikes, for others the best hiking trails are the ones full of switchbacks, drop-offs, and dead ends.

The trails covered below offer some of the scariest challenges, and most dangerous conditions available to hikers today. While they’re not for the faint of heart, these trails also offer some of the most stunning views and interesting ecosystems you’ll ever encounter.

After all, the difficulty of reaching these places helps keep them undisturbed in their natural beauty. So, whether you’re looking for the best hikes in Yosemite National Park, or want to make a pilgrimage to some of the scariest destinations on Earth, these trails will not disappoint!

1. Huayna Picchu, Peru

There’s a reason Huayna Picchu is first on our list of scariest and most dangerous hikes. Climbing 1,000 feet in less than a mile, the “Hike of Death” trail extends from Peru’s famous Machu Picchu ruins at the end of the Inca Trail. The Inca Trail can be challenging in itself, but this extension up Huayna Picchu mountain is one of the riskiest sections.

Providing some of the most stunning views of Machu Picchu itself, the mountain can be summitted safely, but many of the tourists who trek up these ancient Inca steps each year aren’t properly prepared. The problem is, this isn’t one of the best-maintained trails. Parts of the granite steps are rotting or crumbling and, in some places, the only thing to hold onto is a set of old steel cables.

Being high in the Andes, the mountain is often covered in clouds and mist and it’s recommended to only attempt the climb under sunny and clear conditions. Many also underestimate the steepness of the trail, especially coming down. So, take your time, choose your path carefully, and don’t rush past other climbers. Otherwise, you might end up at the bottom much more quickly than planned!

2. Mount Huashan, China

Our next trail on the list is also quite ancient. Trekking to the top of Mount Huashan is a centuries-old tradition. For those who make it to the top, there are Buddhist and Daoist temples that offer refreshments, including what some say is the best cup of tea in the world. Although it seems likely any tea at all would taste amazing after a journey like this one!

Visitors access the temples by climbing the “Heavenly Stairs” carved into the northern peak, or via a trail made of wooden planks bolted into the side of the south mountain. At some points, even the wooden planks disappear and climbers are left to make do with small divots in the rock.

It’s a well-known destination for thrill-seekers and so has become a bit crowded over the years. Still, it’s one of the scariest hiking trails out there, and it’s worth the trip to see the view from the top. Many recommend staying to see the sunrise from the summit even though the hike only takes about six hours round trip.

3. The Maze, Utah, USA

The western US is home to a few of the most dangerous hikes on Earth. Utah, in particular, has some truly amazing treks and makes our list twice. For her first entry, Utah offers The Maze in Canyonlands National Park. Aptly-named, The Maze is a series of gullies, rock formations, and ridges that form a natural labyrinth of red rock.

The formations are both strange and beautiful, but National Park rangers warn against traveling to the area without a detailed itinerary, good communication, and several backup plans. The biggest dangers that hikers might face in the Maze include sudden weather changes, often leading to flash floods, rockfalls, and dead-ends.

Thankfully, there have been no accidental deaths in the area, but this is in part because very few hikers actually make it out to this remote and dangerous part of Canyonlands National Park. If you’re looking for isolation, this trail is an effective way to get it.

4. Drakensberg Traverse, South Africa

Drakensberg Traverse is a 40-mile trail across the Natal National Park, the Drakensberg Traverse requires a longer stay than some of the other hiking trails on this list. There’s no law, of course, that you have to do the whole trek, but it would be a shame to go through the challenge of starting this journey if you don’t intend to finish it.

So, how exactly doe the trail start? With two rather old chain ladders which take trekkers up the ridge and start them on the mismatch of herding trails and animal tracks which make up most of the Traverse. The other reason to go the full 40 miles if you’re going to hike the Drakensberg Traverse is that there are amazing views along just about every inch of the trail.

One of the most famous is the Amphitheater, a rock face with three times as much surface as El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. While the views are well worth it, they exist because the Drakensberg Traverse is one of the most exposed sections of alpine territory on Earth. So keep a close eye on the weather and be ready to shelter in place if it changes quickly.

5. Kalalau Trail, Hawaii, USA

Located in the northwest of Kauai Island, Hawaii’s Na Pali Coast is a well-loved destination for hikers of all abilities. The Kalalau Trail in particular offers a challenging hike through the natural beauty of Hawaii’s jungles, as well as amazing views of natural features like waterfalls and volcanic slopes.

In addition to the gorgeous views and landscapes, the biodiversity in this region makes it a great hiking trip for birdwatchers and amateur naturalists in particular. The wildlife is part of the risk as well, however, with plenty of large, biting, and even venomous insects to look out for.

Rockfalls and flash floods are also of concern to trekkers on the Kalalau Trail. But most of the related casualties actually happen in the water along the trail. The beautiful beaches along the trail and at the end may be a part of the attraction for hikers, but they present some challenges of their own.

If you’re going to swim as you go, pay attention to ocean currents and the depth of the water, and always make sure a buddy knows where you are. Here too, wildlife is a defining feature and can be a big risk for those who go into the water. Tiger sharks are the largest threat, but yellow-bellied sea snakes can also deliver a venomous punch.

6. Cascade Saddle, New Zealand

This trail has become very popular after the success of the Lord of the Rings movies, which feature New Zealand’s Mt. Aspiring National Park. Fans might recognize the Cascade Saddle area as the setting for Isengard in the films. While you won’t face anything as scary as orcs or goblins, the trail presents some real-life challenges to visitors as well, such as bad weather and rockfalls.

An 11-mile trail through alpine meadows and beech forests, the trail is especially dangerous in foul weather, and many of the reported casualties are the result of missteps going down the slippery rock faces. It’s a beautiful journey though, and officials may be altering the trail soon to reduce the number of slippery sections you have to cross.

7. El Caminito del Rey, Spain

Originally constructed as an access point for a local hydroelectric plant, El Caminito del Rey consists of a two-mile concrete and steel path through El Chorro Gorge. El Chorro Gorge, in the Málaga region of Spain, extends for over a hundred feet below the trail, which hangs from the cliff edge above.

While El Caminito is officially closed to the public, adventure seekers make pilgrimages to the destination still. This has only made the trek even more dangerous, though, as many sections of the trail have crumbled and climbers have to navigate over as much as 10 feet of missing trail in some sections. With a 100-foot drop below you, that’s no small feat!

8. Mist Trail, California, USA

The Half Dome is one of Yosemite National Park’s most popular and recognizable features. You might not know that it can also be one of the most dangerous! There are other pathways up the Half Dome, but Mist tRail remains the most popular.

This is in part because of the stunning views you get along the way. In particular, you’ll want to get a good look at the waterfalls, including Vernal Falls and Nevada Falls, which are especially loud and turbulent in the spring. The last 400 feet are the most dangerous.

While steel cables are available to help you up the final ascent, rainfall can make this section deadly rather quickly. If you’re starting to see a pattern, you’re right: bad weather is one of the biggest dangers for hikers at all skill levels and this holds true for the Half Dome’s Mist Trail as well. Almost all the recent accidents recorded on this trail happened when the rock was wet.

9. Angel’s Landing, Utah, USA

Returning to Utah once again, Angel’s Landing in Zion National Park is the last of the US hiking trails we’ll cover on this list. Not to be confused with Bright Angel Trail in Arizona’s Grand Canyon National Park, the canyons in Zion National Park are grand enough in their own right.

With steep drop-offs and many switchbacks, this can a tough trail to tackle but, in the end, you’ll find unbeatable views of the 270-million-year-old rock layers of Zion Canyon. Heat can be an issue on this trail, so hikers should get an early start, especially if you’re visiting in the summer. It takes about five hours to complete the hike round trip.

You’ll start at the Grotto Trailhead and traverse such interestingly named places as “Refrigerator Canyon” and “Walter’s Wiggles.” The trail ends at the Angel’s Landing Sumit and, thankfully, a few hardy trees cling to the peak, providing much-needed shade at the end of the trek.

The trail itself is a lot sturdier than some of the ones on this list, but the continuous switchbacks and steep drops make it a mentally challenging undertaking for even the most physically fit hikers. That’s why it beats the Bright Angel Trail which, while still pretty scary, is a bit more straightforward of a trek.

10.Via Ferrata, Italy & Austria

The Via Ferrata, or Iron Way, has been a destination for adventure seekers for centuries. Located throughout the Alps, this series of protected mountain pathways is the namesake of the “Via Ferrata Set.” Now an important piece of any climber’s kit, the via ferrata set is a system of lanyards and carabiners used to attach yourself to the cables for which this route is named.

These pathways were first developed during the 15th century but were used most extensively during World War I as routes for specialized troop movements. Now, these routes are outfitted with much more modern safety features, including the steel cables that climbers attach to using a via ferrata set, as well as guide rails, platforms, and more. Today there are similar routes all over the world, but it’s worth seeing the first to take the name and soaking in some of the history of the Italian and Austrian Alps as well.

Preparing for A Dangerous Hike

As you might infer from the last destination we looked at, getting the right gear is an important part of preparing for any hike, and especially those in more dangerous locations. For treks that involve climbing, you should make sure your harness is well-fitted and that you have backups of anything that could break or be lost. You’ll also want to keep a well-stocked first aid kit on hand as many of these destinations are quite remote.

Beyond gear, preparing for a trip to one of the most dangerous hiking trails on Earth should include a good amount of research and planning. What natural features are nearby? What weather patterns should you look out for? Pay special attention to potential weather issues as even a relatively safe trail can become treacherous in the rain.

One good rule of thumb is to assume that everything that can go wrong will. So even if the weather is supposed to be nice, make sure you have warm and protective layers on hand. This is especially true in mountainous or coastal regions (like most of the trails on this ist) where the weather can change rapidly and without warning.

When going on any kind of hike, you should also make sure that someone knows where you’re going, what time you’re starting, and when to expect you back. This way, if something terrible happens, help will reach you quickly. You’d be surprised how many hiking fatalities are the result of someone getting stuck without help because no one knew they were missing until too late.

Final Verdict

It can be fun to challenge yourself and seek out dangerous hiking trails like the ones on this list. But remember, any hiking trail can turn deadly if you’re not well-prepared. In fact, many of these dangerous climbs have much lower fatality statistics than more “basic” trails. That’s because most of the people who make it out to these treks are well prepared for what lays ahead.

Just like any trail can be dangerous, any trail can be tackled with relative safety as well, even the ones on this list. The trick is to have a detailed plan for any backpacking or hiking trip. Have an idea of what might go wrong and be prepared to respond to challenges like bad weather, accidental falls, and wrong turns.

How to Take Your Own Internet to Outdoor Events

Published

1 week ago

October 18, 2025

Jonas Muthoni

You’ve got the permits, the lineup, the stage design, and the crowd — but when it comes to WiFi, outdoor events can turn from dream festivals to data dead zones in minutes. Reliable connectivity is now as essential as power or sound. Whether it’s a music festival streaming to TikTok, a food fair using mobile POS systems, or a corporate brand activation relying on live dashboards, the internet connection is what keeps the gears turning.

But the truth is this: counting on venue WiFi at a large outdoor event is a gamble. Hundreds of devices fighting for the same bandwidth can jam up the signal before the headliner gets on stage. Public networks only have one backhaul connection, so your production crew, security cameras, and vendors could all be fighting with concert-goers streaming YouTube in the crowd.

So, if your aspiration is to keep the event chugging along like clockwork, the genius move is to bring your own internet — designed specifically for the occasion, private, and controlled by your event staff.

Why Venue WiFi Fails When Crowds Arrive

Let’s start with the numbers. According to Cisco’s 2024 Annual Internet Report, the average person now connects four to six devices at live events — phones, wearables, tablets, scanners, and streaming gear. Multiply that by 5,000 or 50,000 people, and you’re looking at a digital traffic jam.

Outdoor locations have a very minimal amount of wired infrastructure. The majority utilize older systems or common fiber links, which were not designed for thousands of users at once. When the signal is over-stretched, latency increases, access points fail, and the network grinds to a halt.

For event organizers, this is not only inconvenient — it’s a safety and revenue gamble. POS terminals won’t work. QR ticket scanners crawl. Even backup communication programs freeze.

The Smarter Solution: Creating Your Own Network

Constructing a stand-alone network for an outside event may seem daunting, but technology has made it relatively achievable. Instead of relying on one provider or tower, professional crews now use several sources of the internet to deliver redundancy and stability.

Outdoor WiFi specialists use multi-carrier cellular bonding, satellite uplinks, and WAN smoothing to keep traffic consistent even when one source is down. It’s a lot like having several water pipes feed one tank — if one pipe gets stopped up, others keep the flow consistent.

The best configuration depends on three variables:

Location: Urban park, remote valley, rooftop, or open desert all have different signal profiles and line-of-sight challenges.
Bandwidth Demand: Are you providing power to a 50-person AV crew or streaming to a million online viewers?
Duration: A day-long music festival versus a week-long brand tour will change the way you plan power, cooling, and redundancy.

Professional crews will often pre-deploy with site surveys — gauging carrier strength, spectrum congestion, and potential sources of interference such as LED walls or nearby broadcast towers.

Lessons from the Field

Outdoor WiFi would be a niche specialty, but in today’s world it’s simply part and parcel of modern event production. In the last decade, TradeShowInternet’s teams have helped support hundreds of big outdoor festivals and corporate activations, and there have been a few hard-won lessons along the way.

There was the time crews climbed a half mile up the flank of a Santa Fe mountain with over 200 pounds of gear to put in a solar-powered relay antenna for Red Bull’s Guinness World Record truck jump. A second assignment involved digging cable trenches through snake country in Los Angeles for Christian Dior’s fashion show.

When Univision taped La Banda on the beach in Miami, technicians climbed a 20-foot truss into a lightning storm to raise antennas. These are probably war stories, but they represent reality: each outdoor location introduces its own wildcards. Wind, weather, terrain, and local RF noise all push the limits of planning.

The lesson? Experience is as important as gear. Knowing when to use additional directional antennas, when to flip to satellite failover, or how to protect a router from 100-degree heat isn’t something you can read in a manual.

The Technical Side: How Redundant Networks Keep Events Alive

This is how seasoned outdoor internet crews engineer reliability into temporary networks:

Multi-Carrier Bonding: Equipment stitches together data from multiple cellular carriers (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, etc.) to maximize bandwidth and fill signal gaps.

WAN Smoothing: Packets are duplicated and relayed on secondary paths to prevent noticeable drops or hiccups in live streams.
Satellite Integration: Especially when out at remote sites or in mountain events where cell phone reception is spotty.
5G + LTE Hybrid Units: Combining newer high-bandwidth 5G networks with more predictable LTE offers well-rounded throughput.
Portable Mesh Access Points: Create overlapping areas of WiFi that eliminate dead spots across vast grounds or over tented locations.
Power & Weather Protection: Ranging from Pelican case enclosures to solar power solutions, all of which ensure uptime regardless of adverse weather conditions.

It’s a multi-layer strategy — not one device straining the load, but several working in tandem to handle bandwidth, robustness, and coverage.

Why Your Vendors, AV Staff, and Guests All Need Their Own Network Layer

External events normally have three distinct user communities that require the internet:

Production and AV Personnel – operation of live feeds, mixing panels, lighting, and communications programs.
Vendors and POS Devices – card transaction processing, QR menus, and inventory software.
Guests and Media – posting, uploading, or taking part in brand interaction activity.

Mixing them all on one open WiFi is risky. It provides security vulnerabilities and causes too much congestion. The preferred method is network segmentation, creating separate virtual networks that prioritize mission-critical traffic (production, POS, security cameras) and restrict non-mission-critical use like social browsing.

This is exactly how professional outdoor WiFi & Internet solution companies like TradeShowInternet build event systems. They design bespoke topologies that match the unique demands of every event, whether a food festival, marathon, or big corporate activation.

Budgeting and Planning: What Organizers Should Know

According to EventMB’s 2024 Event Technology Report, 73% of event planners say maintaining a reliable connection is important to attendee happiness, yet less than half have a standalone internet budget in place upfront while planning. That’s a recipe for last-minute scrambling.

For all to run smoothly, the network plan needs to be created alongside stage design and power planning — not an afterthought.

Some planning advice:

Start early: Conduct site surveys at least 30 days ahead of the event.
Prioritize wired backbones: Use fiber or Ethernet in production areas whenever possible.
Segregate guest WiFi: Utilize bandwidth caps or sponsored captive portals to control usage.
Redundancy: Cellular + satellite bonding is well worth the investment for mission-critical space.
Post-event review: Collect performance data to inform next year’s plan.

Real-World Use Cases

Outdoor connectivity is not just for music festivals. It’s a necessity for:

Marathons and triathlons – for timing chips, live maps, and emergency co-ordination.
Outdoor conferences or summits – where executives require office-grade internet to make presentations.
Food truck festivals and markets – all vendors need POS access.
Film and TV productions – production villages rely on low-latency connections for uploads.
Races and motorsport events – telemetry, live scoring, and media streaming.

Each of these environments needs a different trade-off among coverage area, upload speed, and mobility.

Why Experience Matters for Outdoor Internet Installations

Each outdoor location is unique. Trees, humidity, metal buildings, even bodies of water can affect wireless performance. Having individuals who’ve done hundreds of installations means fewer surprises and faster repairs when something unexpected happens.

That’s where TradeShowInternet, a leading outdoor WiFi & Internet solution company, comes in. The company has built up networks on deserts, beaches, helipads, mountain ridges, and pop-up brand villages — keeping organizers, vendors, and AV teams connected wherever the event is hosted.

Outdoor Event WiFi: The New Backbone of Open-Air Experiences

Published

October 17, 2025

Jonas Muthoni

A concert in the canyon. A film night under desert stars. A bustling waterfront food festival with 10,000 guests. Across the country, outdoor events are turning parks, coastlines, forests, and fields into memorable destinations. But there’s one service now as essential as power, permits, and porta-potties: outdoor event WiFi.

Whether for ticket scanning, mobile POS systems, sponsor activations, or live-streaming performances, WiFi for outdoor events has become the invisible support that keeps everything running. Without it, payments stall, communication falters, and digital engagement stops.

Why Outdoor Event WiFi Is Mission-Critical

The outdoor events sector, from farmers’ markets to endurance races, is growing quickly. Allied Market Research predicts global festival revenues will exceed $50B by 2030. These venues offer unique charm, but they also pose a challenge: a lack of built-in internet infrastructure.

“Outside doesn’t mean offline,” says Emma Castillo, a production manager for festivals, film nights, and open-air corporate launches. “We rely on temporary internet for outdoor events to manage our security communications, allow vendors to keep selling, and ensure our livestreams don’t drop.”

Cellular service can struggle with the demands of thousands of devices. Some remote locations may not have any service at all. That’s where outdoor event WiFi solutions come in—portable, scalable, and designed for unpredictable weather.

How Outdoor Internet Keeps Events Moving

Today’s outdoor events rely on connectivity in ways that go far beyond letting guests post on social media:

Mobile POS & Cashless Payments – No signal means lost revenue for vendors.
RFID & Access Control – Real-time validation at gates and VIP areas.
Streaming & Social Content – From TikTok reels to sponsor livestreams.
Sponsor Engagement – QR contests, AR activations, and digital signage updates.
Safety & Logistics – Staff communication, emergency alerts, GPS tracking.

A recent Event Manager Blog study found 63% of sponsors now require guaranteed internet access before committing. Attendees want it too; more than half say connectivity is a key factor in their event satisfaction.

Outdoor Event WiFi Solutions in Action: “Lights on the Lake”

In June, the lakeside town of Lakeshore hosted a three-day open-air film festival. The views were stunning, but no wired internet was available, and mobile service barely worked.

The technical crew set up:

Multi-carrier 5G bonding for vendor and guest networks
Long-range weatherproof access points covering the pier and food court
A private secure network for organizers and emergency staff
A satellite uplink for backup

The festival processed thousands of transactions, streamed Q&A sessions with international filmmakers, and even operated a live voting app without a single connectivity failure.

Industry Perspective: Connectivity as a Core Utility

According to WiFit founder Matt Cicek, changes in event technology priorities have been significant:

“Five years ago, internet at an outdoor event was seen as a nice-to-have. Now, it’s as essential as running water and electricity. From safety coordination to sponsor returns, there’s too much at stake to leave it to chance.”

The Future of Temporary Internet for Outdoor Events

As events become more complex, WiFi for outdoor events from service providers like WiFit will play an even larger role. Expect advancements like:

Solar-powered network kits for sustainable operations
AI-managed bandwidth that adjusts to real-time crowd size
Edge computing for instant AR and interactive attractions

For event planners, the message is clear: the quality of your internet connection is as important as your stage, lighting, or sound system. The next time you’re booking a venue, remember—the crowd may be watching the performers, but they’re also looking at their screens. They expect both to work perfectly.

Multi-tools come equipped with a variety of features such as knives, screwdrivers, pliers, and scissors, all compactly housed in a single device that easily fits in your pocket or pack.

The practicality of a multi-tool is hard to beat. It allows you to tackle unexpected tasks, from cutting rope to repairing gear, all without needing to carry a full toolbox. When you’re out in the wild, you want to be prepared for anything, and a multi-tool ensures you’re ready to handle small emergencies or make quick fixes with ease.

Insulated Water Bottles Can Improve Your Outdoor Experience

Staying hydrated is one of the most important aspects of any outdoor activity. Whether you’re embarking on a long hike or spending hours in a hunting blind, having an insulated water bottle can make a difference. Insulated bottles have features that help to keep your drinks at the desired temperature for a long time, which is especially useful during extreme weather conditions.

These bottles maintain the temperature of your beverage—whether cold or hot—so you can enjoy refreshing water in the summer or a warm drink during chilly morning hunts. Insulated water bottles are also typically made from durable materials, meaning they can withstand the rigors of outdoor use without breaking or leaking. Investing in a high-quality insulated bottle ensures that you stay hydrated and comfortable throughout your outdoor excursions.

Durable Backpacks Can Enhance Your Outdoor Experience

A good backpack is the cornerstone of any successful outdoor trip. When you’re out in nature, you need a reliable, durable pack to carry all of your gear comfortably. Look for backpacks that are built to withstand harsh conditions, provide ample storage, and have ergonomic designs that distribute weight evenly to prevent strain on your back and shoulders.

Modern outdoor backpacks come equipped with multiple compartments to help you stay organized, as well as specialized features like hydration bladder compatibility, rain covers, and reinforced straps. By investing in a durable, well-designed backpack, you’ll have the capacity to carry everything you need—whether it’s extra clothing, food, or hunting gear—while maintaining comfort during long treks.
