Y Garn, Mountain summit in Gwynedd, United Kingdom.
Y Garn rises to 629 meters above sea level and forms part of the mountain ranges within Snowdonia National Park in northern Wales.
Glaciers shaped the mountain's features over 100,000 years, creating deep valleys and distinctive cwms in the Cwm Idwal and Nant Ffrancon regions.
The mountain maintains traditional Welsh naming conventions, with 'Garn' referring to a cairn or rocky outcrop in the Welsh language.
Multiple access points exist along the A5 road, with parking facilities available near Llyn Ogwen and several designated pay-and-display areas.
The mountain's profile resembles an armchair when observed from specific positions along Llyn Ogwen, creating a natural geographic formation.
