Summit and Glen
One final shot of the summit cairn at the top of Cairn Gorm. Far below we can see the blue waters of Loch Morlich, while just beyond it, Aviemore can just be made out. But we've hung around enough, it's time to start the descent.
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).
