View of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park

Highlight • Viewpoint

If you're looking for a break after the climb out of Crianlarich, this is the place for you. Unfortunately, there's a lot of deforestation and forestry work (May 2025) afterward, so it's not very scenic for quite a long stretch.
