America's Top 5 Scariest Stairs!



These stairs may be worth the effort to reach the top, but may be intimidating and treacherous - and remember, you have to get back down...

#5 - Claustrophobic and crowded


STATUE OF LIBERTY, NEW YORK CITY


To reach the platform in Lady Liberty’s crown, you’ll have to trek up a claustrophobic, crowded, 146-step double-helix spiral staircase with just six feet of head clearance. Or, if you are really brave, make the entire tight 377-step hike up all the way from the lobby, the equivalent of climbing a 20-story building.

#4 - Dark and rickety


MOANING CAVERN, CALIFORNIA


Welded almost a century ago, this 100-foot-tall curlicue staircase, leads you deep into the darkness of a damp cave known for its eerie wails and moans.  Make it to the bottom and you’re rewarded with a cave so big it could fit the Statue of Liberty.
 

#3 - Straight up and slippery


HALF DOME, CABLE ROUTE, CALIFORNIA


If you want to see panoramic views of Yosemite Valley and the High Sierra, you will have a seven-mile all-incline hike through the wilderness that culminates with climbing the rock face along a cable ladder for more than 400 vertical feet. Rainy conditions have proved fatal.

#2 - High and unsteady


HAIKU STAIRS, OAHU, HAWAII


The 3,922 rickety steps that lead a half mile up Oahu’s Koolau Mountain range are so seriously scary that climbing them is now illegal. Nicknamed the Highway to Heaven, they were built in 1942 by the U.S. Navy. Popular with daredevil hikers, by 1987, they were closed for safety concerns, and they stay that way, despite a 2003 renovation project.

#1 - Dim and dangerous


YOUR CREEPY BASEMENT STAIRS


A majority of basement and cellars from around the country still have some of the scariest stairs. Conditions usually include dank, low light situations with dirty, unfinished wood treads, inconsistent step height, low head clearance and rickety bannisters – if any! These types of stairs seem to have a starring role in every horror movie ever made!
