This route is generally completed over 2–3 days, and brings walkers through a variety of landscape forms common to this part of the northwest of Ireland.

The strenuous route brings walkers through a series of mountain passes, forest roads, riverside paths, small farmlands and quiet boreens, passing closely to rural villages such as Glenfarne, Ballinagleragh and Coollegraine.

Visitors can find historic heritage sites unique to the area, such as sweathouses which are dotted throughout the countryside.

The Management Committee is composed of volunteer reps from the communities along the trail, and members of Coillte, Leitrim County Council, Leitrim Development Company, Mountain Meitheal and Waterways Ireland.
