Glen Nevis, Valley between mountains in Highland, Scotland
The deep valley stretches for 10 kilometers from Fort William, featuring the River Nevis flowing through granite cliffs and dense woodland areas.
The glen contains remnants of an Iron Age fort, demonstrating continuous human settlement in this Highland region since ancient times.
The glen serves as a gathering place for the annual River Nevis race, where participants navigate downstream using floating devices since 1973.
Visitors can access the glen via a paved road that narrows to a single track after 7 kilometers, with parking available at designated areas.
The glen houses Steall Falls, Scotland's second-highest waterfall, accessible through a mountain path leading to a wire bridge crossing.
