The Quiraing, Isle of Skye

Amazing, AMAZING views! Car park is 3 pounds FOR 3 hours, and you can see some great views from there already. If you continue to hike upwards to the “Needle”, you will continue see more stunning views that exceed that of the car park. The Needle is the closest second “destination” of the hike, but is only the beginning of the entire trail (which we had no plans of completing lol). The upward climb is not immediately steep but the incline is significant over time. The path is pretty clear and well tread most of the time with a few tricky spots… the climb itself (up to the Needle anyway) is not that challenging itself except for the fact that the high wind speeds make the journey much harder than it otherwise would be. Strongly recommend a windbreaker, gloves and a hat because it is super windy up there! Worth it for the views though.

Most beautiful hike you can do! I can't explain how stunning it is, especially if you dare to hike a full round. It took us 3,5h with a little stop on the top. In some areas the path is really close to the egde and the wind very strong. Good shoes are a must cause it can get really muddy and weat up there. Also the weather changed every 5min so it is good to have waterproof everything, even if it looks sunny from the carpark. Totally worth it! A must!
