Strickeen (Struicín) Mountain is one of the more accessible mountains of the MacGillycuddy Reeks. Rising just over 300m from the valley floor of the Gap of Dunloe, the track is well-worn and from base to summit makes for simple navigation for the majority of the route. A steady gradient throughout allows for a consistent pace on both the ascent and descent, with impressive panoramic views at the top of the trail.
