Beinn a’ Ghlò (the Hill of the Veil or Mist) is more a range of hills than a single peak, and has three Munro summits giving a strenuous days walking. Although the summits are rounded, they have steep flanks and the sculpted form of this great massif, makes for a memorable experience.
This is one of four Geocaches on Beinn a’ Ghlò.

The terrain has mostly good paths, with steep descents between the peaks and some rough and boggy ground as well and this is a serious hill walking route
The route starts from the parking at the end of the public section of the Monzie road, near Loch Moraig.

Looking towards the Airgiod Bheinn summit cairn from the flat boulders at the GZ.
Airgiod Bheinn (the Silver Mountain) is another summit on Beinn a’ Ghlò's at 1061 metres. It is reached by an easy slope after visting the Geocache at Carn nan Gabhar.
The summit has a cairn and is a good viewpoint.
The route to return to the Loch Moraig car park is very long and tiring after traversing the Beinn a’ Ghlò summits.
After the Airgiod Bheinn summit cairn, the ridge becomes very stoney and eventually you can pick up a path down very steep stoney ground evenyually decending into boggy ground which must be crossed to reach a path on the far side of the burn and the path back to the car park.
It is easier to return back down from the Airgiod Bheinn summit and return to the Bealach an Fhiodha and and go down the east side of the stream to the south of the bealach and cross the strean further down to the path back to the car park.
