Scotland is beautiful.
The journey set before us. It looks a little intimidating. We're at the bottom looking at this mountain thinking, "We're going up that thing?!"
Only a short while into the hike and already the ground level world seems so distant. If you enlarge the picture you can see the little cars. We parked in a lot right off the road, so you can see approximately where we came from.
Hiker pole in hand and ready to conquer the world... Actually, we were already taking a break! We had some shoes to tie and other business to take care of. (Hint: There are no public restrooms on the mountains.)
