The Fire Tower Trail, by Lochgilphead, has a little bit of something for everyone, from gentle tracks to radical free-riding. The descents are awesome - but what comes down must first go up, so there are some challenging climbs as well. Fortunately the climbs give you an excuse to sit down and take in the stunning views before enjoying 7.4km of single-track.
