What a hike, so so worth it! Only recommended for fit and experienced hikers. Mind the weather forecast too as it can get quite cold, windy and/or rainy up there! Total hike time from Morvich and back was about 7 hours including a few breaks! Have fun and enjoy :)

Lots of waterfalls to see including falls of glomach in this remote mountainous region of north west highlands of Scotland,the path is indistinct in the snow and the mobile signal is poor excellent navigational skills are essential. Morvich/Kyle is where the walk starts and finishes Out and back 6 hours plus
