Rocks and Lochs
Looking down the coire across Coire an Lochan below us to the blue waters of Loch Morlich in the distance, the town of Aviemore can just be made out to the left. But from here, on the Cairn Gorm plateau, we have a fine view west across the Scottish Highlands.
Cairn Gorm, the mountain from which the Cairngorm mountain range gets its name, stands at 1245 meters (4085 feet) and is my 4th Munro of the season, my 27th in total. The hike (no bike this time) sees me covering a circuit of just over 7 miles and making an elevation gain of around 762 meters (2500 feet).
