Rising above the Drumochter Pass to the east are two rounded Munros and coire after coire, great grooves in their extensive flanks. Hikes up Carn na Caim, the higher of the two, are straightforward over grassy terrain and provide relatively easy Munro days. Often twinned with A'Bhuidheanach Bheag to the south, clear days on this rambling upland provide outstanding views.

Hiking
Often climbed alongside A' Bhuidheanach Bheag, this Munro mountain is considered one of the easier Munro bagging outings. Rolling hills make for a pleasant ascent from the Drumochter Pass.

Hiking
A fairly featureless summit. Easily tacked from the A9 to the west, the summit is marked by a cairn at NN 67702 82144.
