MacEachen Trail View

Taken 2005 June 21 along the old cart track which forms part of the MacEachen Trail.

The MacEachen Trail starts at the Cape Mabou Trail Head and runs to Sight Point through mostly forested lands. Taking this trail from the Cape Mabou Trail Head is by far the easiest, though not the shortest, way to Beinn Bhiorach, as the trail runs nearly level through the forest until it joins the Highland Link Trail or the Highland Forest (“Coill à Bhraighe”) Trail. From there, there’s some climbing needed to reach the summit, but much less than via any other route. Ascending the MacEachen Trail from Sight Point involves a hard climb (at least for me); when I go to Sight Point, I usually instead take the MacKinnon’s Brook Trail along the coast to the Oak Ridge (“Rids an Daraich”) Trail and return by the Enchanted Valley (“Gleann Sidh”) Trail, a gorgeous trip.
