Hike to Devil's Staircase

The Devil's Staircase hike is a scenic yet challenging trail in Scotland's Highlands, part of the West Highland Way. This 3-mile (5-kilometer) ascent takes you through rugged landscapes, offering stunning views of the surrounding mountains, valleys, and moorlands. Named for its steep, zigzagging path, the hike climbs to an elevation of 550 meters (1,800 feet). Despite the tough incline, the breathtaking vistas of Buachaille Etive Mòr and the Blackwater Reservoir make the effort worthwhile. Weather can be unpredictable, so hikers should be prepared for sudden changes. It's a rewarding experience for adventurous trekkers.
