Carn na Caim, the 'cairn of the curve', is the northern of two Munros on the broad, rolling plateau east of the Drumochter Pass. A cairn marks the top, and deep corries cut into the ground to the north. Getting there means crossing soggy, peaty ground, but walkers often find the views from the summit better than they expected.
