Most magical, magnificent place!
Glen Affric National Nature Reserve的点评
点评：Glen Affric is frequently referred to as “the most beautiful glen in Scotland” - and this is truly one of the most magical places I’ve ever been. I might even go so far as to say it’s the most beautiful glen (valley) I’ve ever seen! It’s deep in the Highlands with only one narrow road passing through it and it’s largely undeveloped which has allowed it to remain pretty wild.
The mighty River Affric rushes through the glen and is quite wide and powerful. There are numerous lochs, some very large, and countless waterfalls! The plants surrounding the trails are so interesting- providing a rainbow of color - a lot of deep reds, along with yellows and greens against the backdrop of the deep brown waters - just glorious!
This glen holds the third largest area of ancient Caledonian pinewoods in Scotland, consisting mostly of Scots Pines which have grown here in some form or another since the last ice age!
The Forestry Commission has worked hard to “rewild” the area with native plants and trees and root out the invasive species and its had marvelous results - native wildlife is thriving and the area is recovering from heavy tree harvesting activities of years past.
We visited on an eco tour with the Rabbies tour company as the roads can be quite difficult for American drivers (lol) - the tour was fantastic and while we spent a good bit of time here, it just wasn’t enough bc it was so amazing. But we had plenty of time for a few hikes and some exploring. And we even saw some wandering sheep on the way out that apparently weren’t supposed to be that deep into the woods haha!
We stopped and did a short hike around Dog Falls but moved on and spent most of our time at the end of the maintained road where there’s parking and picnic tables and some really great trails.
The first trail we did took us up to the Memorial Cairn for expansive 360 degree views - fairly easy hike - some incline and muddy but doable. Trails are all surprisingly well maintained. The views are dramatic and words could never do them justice! We also did another short hike down by the rushing River Affric - easy and so worth it.
If you’re in the Highlands and able to visit Glen Affric, I can’t recommend it enough! It’s pretty close to Inverness and so worth it!

翻译：阿弗里克峡谷经常被称为“苏格兰最美丽的峡谷”——这确实是我去过的最神奇的地方之一。我什至可以说这是我见过的最美丽的峡谷！它位于高地深处，只有一条狭窄的道路穿过，而且大部分地区尚未开发，这使得它仍然非常荒凉。
浩浩荡荡的阿弗里克河从峡谷中奔流而过，河面宽阔，水流湍急。这里有无数的湖泊，有些非常大，还有无数的瀑布！小径周围的植物非常有趣 - 提供了彩虹般的颜色 - 许多深红色，以及在深棕色水域的背景下的黄色和绿色 - 真是太棒了！
这个峡谷拥有苏格兰第三大古喀里多尼亚松林区，主要由苏格兰松组成，自上一个冰河时代以来，这些松树以某种形式生长在这里！
林业委员会努力用本土植物和树木“重新野化”该地区，并根除入侵物种，并取得了惊人的成果——本土野生动物正在蓬勃发展，该地区正在从过去几年的大量树木砍伐活动中恢复过来。
我们和 Rabbies 旅游公司一起参加了一次生态之旅，因为道路对于美国司机来说可能相当困难（哈哈）——这次旅行非常棒，虽然我们在这里度过了很长一段时间，但这还不够，因为它是如此惊人的。但我们有足够的时间进行几次徒步旅行和探索。我们甚至在出去的路上看到了一些流浪的羊，它们显然不应该进入树林深处，哈哈！
我们停下来，在狗瀑布周围进行了一次短途徒步旅行，然后继续前进，大部分时间都花在了维护良好的道路的尽头，那里有停车场、野餐桌和一些非常棒的小径。
我们走的第一条小路带我们去了纪念石碑，欣赏广阔的 360 度景观——相当轻松的徒步旅行——有一些倾斜和泥泞，但还是可行的。步道都维护得非常好。这些观点是戏剧性的，言语永远无法公正地描述它们！我们还沿着湍急的阿夫里克河进行了另一次短途徒步——轻松又值得。
如果您在高地并且能够参观 Glen Affric，我强烈推荐您来这里！离因弗内斯很近，非常值得！
