The danger and beauty remind me of some trails in Zion National Park in Utah. Especially one called Angel's Landing. Lots of spots where most people wouldn't dare attempt it except that the park has installed thick chains on the walls. At many points, you are holding onto the chain on one side, and on the other there is a 1,000 foot drop. And there is awesome scenery all the way up. Here a <a href="http://www.citrusmilo.com/zionguide/angelslanding.cfm" rel="nofollow">good description of the trail</a> and are <a href="http://www.zionnational-park.com/images/album2/index10.htm" rel="nofollow">some good photos</a> taken by someone who has taken and enjoyed this hike. Looking at them makes me want to go there to take a hike right NOW! Edgar: thanks for the tip on Mount Desert Island. The danger and beauty remind me of some trails in Zion National Park in Utah.
