Very technical but also amazing scenic trail. Some hike a bike involved for even the most skilled IMO. Makes a great enduro loop when including gleann lacasdail trail and road link. Awesome views and remote feel.

I did this route the other way round to suggested, climbing up steeply then a long descent. It is a classic Scottish mountain biking route! Amazing views and fun descent!
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
