Conic Hill is part of a major geological feature known as the Highland Boundary Fault. This forms a zone separating the lowlands to the south from the Highlands to the north, each with different rock types, landscapes, animal and plant life, and cultural heritage. There are wonderful views from the top.

Hiking

On the descent down to Balmaha, your knees fly away. But then the beer tastes good.

The descent from Conic Hill to Balmaha is nothing for weak knees. But you deserve the break after.
