The car park gets full very quickly in the summer, so it’s suggested to arrive early and grab a space. Cross the road and head up the track that follows a woodland. The path is still somewhat steep but offers scenic views of nearby areas. Continue up and out of the forest to admire the peak of Ben A’an. You may witness climbers ascending the terrain nearby with ropes and harnesses. Make your way up to the summit to admire the great views of Loch Katrine and the Southern Highlands of Scotland. After a selfie and sandwich, retrace your steps back down to the car park.

This hike and guide were completed during summer weather conditions. This is just one opinion of this route. Make sure to do your own research by consulting local internet resources, mountain guides or guidebooks to evaluate other opinions so you can be best prepared for the terrain.
