Glen Croe

Glen Croe is the name of the passage between mountains that run from Arrochar on the shores of Loch Long, to Cairndowe, on the shores of Loch Fyne. At the beginning I found it a little funny to see these hills were called the Arrochar Alps. But after some research and and pictures of the snow covered mountains, and yes, it certainly looks a bit like the Alps. Most of the mountain is part of the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs nature reserve, but can easily get away from the trails and set up camp where you want, it is permitted. The mountains in the Glen Croe are Ben Donich and The Cobbler which overlook Arrochar.
