There is a nice visitor center for the National Park in Letterfrack.

We followed one of the tourist trails up into the hills – different lengths for different abilities.

Needless to say, this was a lot steeper (a 1300′ climb in 2 miles) but with good views at the top.

Looking back to the hill (not looking steep at all in this photo!):
