Stunning multi-day hike! Very well signposted, and a great mix of trails.

This is a spectacular trail. With good visibility you get incredible views of the reeks. Bagging a few other peaks along the way too. Not waymarked at all and the route line is rough. Quite technical in parts and also very steep. Worth stopping at the mound looking over muckross lake.
