The end of the Glen is dominated by the Cairngorms. Footpaths lead to Braemar via Jock's Road, Ballater and the Capel Mounth, and to Glen Prosen via the Kilbo Path. An interpretive shelter provides information about the area and, for hill walkers, information about conditions on the mountains.
Walkers can take a number of routes, all starting from the main car park.
A youth hostel is located half a mile from the car park. While on the hills, you can find game birds, deer and huge amounts of wildlife. Shooting takes place in season - check the notice board on the interpretive shelter for information, or consult the ranger.
