One of the most iconic hikes in the United States, but not nearly as terrifying as social media makes it seem. The biggest challenge for me wasn't the exposure, it was navigating around other hikers on the chains. I'll walk you through whether it's worth getting a permit, what to expect, and how to prepare.
