It cites no methodology for determining "dangerousness", and few fatality statistics on which to base its rankings. How about Eaton Canyon near L.A., which, as much as any of the hikes in this list, is a virtual moron magnet, requiring regular air rescues and corpse recoveries? Lately, it has been far deadlier than any of the hikes or climbs listed here, which proves nothing more than morons get into trouble wherever they choose to go. (Bright Angel Trail). Silly internet lists and articles like this do not serve as accurate sources of information.

The Bright Angel Trail is hiked by tens of thousands of tourists each year, is very well maintained and has water stations every mile. As to Pikes Peak, temperatures soar well over 40 in the summer time. In fact, if you are not careful you might get heatstroke. Also, a gazillion people drive up to the summit or take the clog (like a train) that goes right up to the summit and is open year-round. There is absolutely nothing more dangerous about Pikes Peak than any other summit that is above the treeline. And we have 56 of those here in Colorado and most people hike most of them most of the time. Get a grip. This is not accurate information.
