Reviews for rock formations hikes in Argyll and Bute
Nanette · reviewed about 1 year ago
I decided on Scotland for this year's long distance hike because of John Muir and the hike named after him. I had read the reviews and knew there would be tarmac, but what I didn't know was the tarmac would be 80% - 85% of the hike. It killed my feet and I am an avid hiker. I honestly don't belive John Muir would want his name attached to this hike. I don't regret completing it, but I also won't recommend it. I was thankful for five nights off before starting the West Highland Way so my feet could recover. (Which they did and are doing great on this hike. 😁)

Fantastic views. Part paved, not difficult but boggy and wet in large sections.

Autumn brings a dazzling display of changing colours, but the weather, much like spring, can be erratic. Temperatures begin to drop, and daylight hours shrink rapidly, restricting hiking time. Winters are challenging with shorter days, snowfall, and icy trails. For the experienced, it presents a unique, exhilarating challenge. Check https://www.mountaineering.scot/. Best to avoid winter unless highly experienced.
