Ben Lomond Mountain

This 1 day hike was only represented by one sentence in the Lonely Planet and ended up being one of the most amazing experiences of my life. We started the hike sweating from the heat and then moved on to trudging though knee high snow during an intimidating storm. The views from the hike, especially from the summit, made the experience completely worth it as we had our own private panorama of the mountain chain known as the Remarkables.
