Trail description

From the Coire Cas car park the route follows the Northern Corries path, climbs the long ridge of Miadan Creag an Leth-choin onto the Cairngorm plateau and crosses the high, stony ground past Lochan Buidhe to the summit. At 1,309 m Ben Macdui is the second-highest mountain in the British Isles; its direction indicator was erected by the Cairngorm Club in 1925.
