Rocky but beautiful mountain pass connecting Loch Lyon (and later Glen Lyon) to the Bridge of Orchy valley, where you can leave or enter the West Highland Way leading bypass the beautiful Glencoe.

The road is certainly passable for mountain bikes and touring bikes with wider tires. Beware of some small creeks to pass and the occasional loose rocks. Start or finish of the road by riding towards the old railway bridge.

The river crossings are all rideable but be prepared to get wet feet

Track passes through land populated by cattle that often loiter on the track itself. So if your scared of hairy cows with huge sharply pointed horns this isn't for you.
