Ireland 2019. Gap of Dunloe and Carrauntoohil.

The Gap of Dunloe, located in CO Kerry, is a narrow north-south mountain pass separating MacGillycuddy’s Reeks mountain range to the west and the Purple Mountain Group range to the east. It’s a very popular spot due to the scenery.

The central peak of the MacGillycuddy’s Reaks, Carrauntoohil is Irelands highest peak at 1,039 meters (3,407ft). Carrauntoohil is located in CO Kerry, Ireland.

First views of Carrauntoohil after leaving Cronin’s Yard.

Looking back towards Cronin’s Yard.

I took the loop trail from Cronin’s Yard. Part of it goes through the grass/marsh. Quite muddy in places.

Lough Callee.

Carrauntoohil. I decided against making the climb to the top, being that i’m still a bit out of shape (could have been a bit more active this summer….).

A nice spot along the lough for a rest.

Watched these hikers for a bit.
