Description
Kinlochleven and the Ciaran Path mountain bike trails are in the Scottish Highlands in Scotland. The whole area around Kinlocheven has a good number of natural MTB trails. The Ciaran path itself is a technical tough rocky trail that descends from the Blackwater Dam on the north side of the river Leven into Kinlochleven. The trails here have a remote feel and are generally hard, long, exposed and technical.
