Hiking
Beinn an Eòin is a remote hill in the Flowerdale Forest west of Loch Maree. It is classified as a Corbett with more than 150m of prominence.
Beinn an Eòin is most easily approached from the north, from the track leading to Loch na h-Oidhche using a gully on the north end of the ridge to gain the ridge itself. Other approaches can be more challenging.
The summit is a fantastic viewpoint for the hills at the southern end of the Flowerdale Forest, particularly the northern sides of Beinn Dearg and Beinn Alligin.

Hiking
This a hard won summit, a long walk in along a rough path, a burn crossing that may not be possible if it is in spate, and than a pathless climb onto the ridge. Once on the ridge the difficulties are largely over, other than there is no cover from the wind and rain once up there. The views are superb in all directions, particularly towards the iconic peaks of Torridon.
