A relatively straightforward 4.9 km hike with 358 meters elevation gain, this trail has the added excitement of a bit of a scramble and lots of creek crossings/rock hopping. And there's the option to hike further into the Lost Valley if you're wanting a longer outing. Like so many hikes in Scotland, this one has some interesting history, and we were glad to have a guide to tell us the story of this hanging valley.
Another "proper" Scottish highland hiking experience, the short trek to An Steall Bàn includes a hike up through a small gorge, the opportunity to cross a three-wire bridge, and a view of the Harry Potter waterfalss.
The second day of our week of guided hiking in the Glencoe region of the Scottish highlands was a "proper bog" hiking experience - one we'll remember for decades to come.
Any other month, I'd be sharing photos related to birding, gardening, walking, kayaking, cycling, cooking and other activities that are part of my "normal" life.
