This video below is especially dedicated to those who love to hike and take unusual and daredevil types of adventure.
WARNING! The video clip is NOT for anyone who has fear of heights and/or balance problems.
The entrance(s) to this old mountain trail, originally built in the 1920s for hydroelectric workers, ha been closed to the general public for years, but not policed. So, a few daring souls have hiked on it at their own risk.
The trail has not been maintained for years, and majority of the trail’s protective railing had rusted away and/or had fallen off long ago. But there is a cable or wire attached to the face of the mountain for one to hold on to for balance, if needed, but it could support only so much weight. Because of the trail’s terrible state of disrepair, several people who had dared to hike on it had reportedly fallen to their deaths hundreds [even a few thousand] of feet below.
The walk is amazing and hair-raising. It is even more amazing and hair-raising when one considers that it was filmed by someone who hiked and videotaped at the same time!
Watching the video should have one on the edge of his/her seart and possibly even have a feeling of “butterflies in the stomach”.
