Monadhliath Mountains means "grey mountains". Running in a northeast to southwest direction, the mountains lie on the western side of Strathspey, to the west of the Cairngorms and to the south east of Loch Ness. The mountains are within the Highland council area, and the south and east fringes are within the Cairngorms National Park. The high point of the range is Càrn Dearg, at 945 m/3100ft, located 24 km south of Inverness.
I arranged this walk for my Meetup group. There were only two of us, but we had a lovely day, and it was quite a straightforward walk. A much nicer mountain than the other three bog-laden Monadliath Munros!
