This is a pretty desolate stretch along the West Highland Way, but not without its charms - the spatial panoramas, and the clouds streaming across the moor. The trail is pretty good though - there is little chance of you getting off route. Ba Bridge is good for a break and there are interesting waterfalls leading back to deeply cut corries. In the blackened peat you should see the incongruous bleached roots of the old Caledonian forest that was cut down over the centuries. Eventually you climb out of the Black Mount area and see traces of civilisation around by the White Corries ski area, and down to the patch of white and green that marks The Kings House Hotel. Towering over this, at the entrance of Glencoe, is the majesty of Buaqchaille Etive Mor.
