One of the strongest impressions from our visit to Scotland in May was the color green. Lush, green growth was everywhere, at least by our California standards. Right now, with this summer’s heat in our state, those cool, damp, green days in Scotland are a very pleasant memory! This little section of the trail between Fort Augustus and Invermoriston is typical — green on the ground, dense green forest on either side, and fog and mist in the air.
This day’s Great Glen Hike hike was a bit surprising in that much of the first part was on alternate routes. One thing we learned about the “Way” is that it isn’t really a single trail like, say, our John Muir Trail. It is more of a general route, with lots of variations and sections that are closed for various reasons — always with alternatives provided.
