The narrow trail winds along the face of the Quiraing. We are game! Besides, the top doesn't look that far away -- maybe 30 minutes?

Actually, the top is deceptively high and the longer we hike, the steeper the drop-offs get at the edge of an increasingly narrower trail.

Almost at the top of the Quiraing on the northern edge of the Isle of Skye! We stop for a break and a few pictures. You can barely make out the parking lot way far off in the background.
