I don't like heights, so the hiking trail in China is definitely out for me.

Overloaded server, comes back in some minutes...

Hmmm, me thinks some bandwidth has been exceeded. I got the pics, hang on I will snag them and post them. They are impressive.

Re: World's top five most dangerous roads

Don't know about the link (not working) but the most dangerous roads I have driven on are:

1. Pacific Coast Hwy, aka: Hwy 1, California between San Luis Obispo and Carmel. Winding, narrow, steep cliffs, fog. elephant seals. But oh what a view when the fog lifts. Big Sur, I miss you!

2. Overseas Hwy, aka: Hwy 1, Florida between Miami and Key West, at night. Narrow, speeders, dark, gators, accident alley. Oh but the Taquila at Jimmy Buffet's place is worth the drive, just prefer to do it in the daylight.

3. Going to the Sun Hwy, Glacier Natil. Park, Montana, last 5 miles before the summit, incredible view, narrow roads, steep drop off, grizzly bears, no shoulder in most locations, great sightseeing and trout fishing. Stop in Kalispell and pick up some bear repellent!

Re: World's top five most dangerous roads

It's not the windy, steep, animal infested roads that are dangerous....it's the roads with all the idiot drivers on them!

Re: World's top five most dangerous roads

In the FJ, I would love to trail these two..

#4: Russian Siberian Road to Yakutsk

The official federal-government highway to Yakutsk, and it is also the only one to get there. This can turn into a major humanitarian disaster during rainy spells, when the usual clay covering of the road turns into impassable mud blanket, swallowing trucks and tractors alike.

#2: Guoliang Tunnel in Taihang mountains (China)

The wall of the tunnel is uneven and there are more than 30 “windows” of
different sizes and shapes. Some windows are round and some are square, and they range from dozens of metres long to standard-window-size. It is frightening to look down from the windows, where strange rocks hanging form the sheer cliff above and a seemingly bottomless pit lying below. A village, opposite the tunnel, appears to hang on the precipice.

Re: World's top five most dangerous roads

Seeing those picts will make you chuckle every time you here someone complaining about the quality of our roadways.
