Golden hour sunlight floods a mountain pass, illuminating a rugged path in the foreground. Rolling hills fade into a hazy, blue and yellow sky with wispy clouds.

Coming down the Miners' Track as the sun was setting is an experience I'll never forget...

However, the paths round here were very rough, which included some steep descents, making the descent quite difficult.

As we descended Moelwyn Mawr, we came across an old quarry with tons of slate stacked piles high, along with a few abandoned buildings.

But like all things in life, whatever comes up, must come down again, so after a brief stop at the summit, it was time to begin the descent.

Eventually made it to the top of Moelwyn Mawr and the views were truly something else up here.

Still, views are pretty great though.

The path to Moelwyn Mawr was incredibly challenging to put it lightly. Often times where you were crawling over the rocks and shear drops everywhere you looked.

More images as we get close too and approach the dam, including that of another waterfall.

The truly stunning views of our first walk towards Moelwyn Bach/Mawr, up towards the Stwlan Dam, featuring waterfalls and an old tunnel up the mountain.
