(mountains over 3000ft) but if you're not feeling
energetic there are some wonderful trails that aren't at
all daunting taking you through ancient pine forests, by
meandering rivers and next to mirror-like lochs. There
are also ranger-led guided walks if you don't want to
miss a thing. |

sit and stare, enjoy the history of yesterday and the beauty of today in this area of variety and
calm. |
