Summit of Cairn Gorm
And here we are, the summit of Cairn Gorm itself marked by this large rocky cairn. Our route to this point along the coire's (cliffs) of the Cairngorm plateau through a very dramatic landscape. This is quite an achievement and is my 27th Munro now!
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).
