Killarney National Park is a great place to do some hiking. There are numerous hikes inside the National Park at various difficulty levels. When looking for hikes, we usually use the AllTrails App. On their website you can find an overview of various hikes as well.
We decided to do the Strickeen Mountain Hike. It is of moderate difficulty, with an elevation gain of a little more than 300 meters. It is not a loop hike so you need to walk back the same way you came. Round-trip the hike is about 7,5km.
Same as for visiting the Gap of Dunloe, parking can be found near Kate Kearney’s Cottage. From there you walk next to the Gap of Dunloe road until you reach the entrance to the Strickeen Mountain Hike. Once at the top of Strickeen Mountain, you will be met with amazing views over the surrounding land!
