I have a fear of heights.

However, I made myself watch and my knees are still weak and shaky....and I'm sitting down :dontknow:

Beautiful scenery was worth the scary video.

Thanks.

FABULOUS - Walking it is one thing. Can you imagine "building" that trail? How did they do it?

OMG - I am still breathless from fear of falling'!

So beautiful with hauntingly appropriate music.

Thank you...

Thanks, DK....very skeery.

Wouldn't want to have been the poor fool on the trail in those parts where chunks of concrete have broken away.

I was never that good on the balance beam in Junior High Phys Ed....don't think I would want to try navigating over the beams in those places where the concrete is gone. One false step....

Heights - no problem I'd have a chute on with a flask strapped to my waist. Very exciting and scenic.

Wow! It brought back nightmarish flashbacks of us horsbackriding up and down the canyons of Colorado This being much steeper and more dangerous of course. But having the crazy horse that I had that was totally uncontrollable I dont think I have ever been that terrrified in my life. I think my horsebackriding days are over, that one did me in.

Beady, Im curious, with your fear of heights, do you fly?
