Jhuilu Old Trail - The Most Extreme Hike in Taiwan (Zhui Lu Gu Dao -- 錐麓古道)

The precarious Jhuilu (Zhuilu) Old Trail is cut into the highest, sheer cliff face in the awe-inspiring Taroko Gorge. The Jhuilu Cliff is about 1.100 meter high, and if you step of the path at the steepest sections of the trail you will fall more than 500 meters down to the Liwu river below. Never mind the risk of falling, the true risk is from falling rocks from the sheer cliff face that continues straight up for several hundred meters. So always wear a helmet! The hammered out ledge that the trail follows across the cliff is only 60 centimeters wide at its narrowest. So watch every step you make! The 10.3km Jhuilu Old Trail follows the last remaining sections of the old and infamous Hehuan Mountain Road. The trail begins at Zimu (Cihmu) Bridge and runs east along the north wall of the gorge before recrossing at Swallow Grotto. Hikers have been known to abandon their plans when they actually looked up and saw where they were going.

The path was closed after a big earthquake in 1999, and reopened in 2008 on a permit-only basis. Applications must be made at least a week in advance and can be made online, though only on the Chinese section of the park's website (the park promises English applications will be available in the future).
