July 2018 - Glen Nevis
A beautiful part of the Scottish highlands. We drove from the Isle of Skye over to the Glenfinnan viaduct. The Hogwarts Express goes over it! We then did a popular hike in the area up to the Steall meadows, which sit up in the mountains.

We happened to be there right when the steam engine was crossing

Loch Shiel is what you see when you look out from the viaduct

Beautiful wildflowers on our way over to see the viaduct

The Glenfinnan dining car. A cute little restaurant that we ate at, and which was also the best place to park to go see the viaduct
