Y Garn, Mountain summit in Gwynedd, United Kingdom.
Y Garn reaches an elevation of 633 meters and forms part of the Nantlle Ridge within Snowdonia National Park in Wales.
The mountain's landscape was shaped by glacial movements during the last ice age, creating deep valleys and distinctive formations approximately 12,000 years ago.
The mountain belongs to the Welsh classification system of peaks, recognized in both the Nuttalls Hill List and SubHewitt categories.
Hikers can access Y Garn through multiple routes, with the main path starting from Rhyd Ddu offering direct access to the summit.
The mountain serves as a child summit of Trum y Ddysgl, featuring a prominent cairn at its peak and providing views across the Snowdonia range.
