There is a good footpath, starting at the notice board and stile, from the car park to the Old Man of Storr and the surrounding rock formations. The route goes steadily up hill and it usually takes about ¾ of an hour to reach the Old Man. Once there it is possible to walk around and up to the pinnacle, a path branches off to the left before the Old Man. For the more energetic it is possible to continue along the footpath and climb The Storr hill (570m). Another option, for impressive views of the Trotternish Ridge is to follow the footpath uphill, past the Old Man and instead of climbing The Storr head north-west and up Hartaval. This affords fine views of the Trotternish Ridge.
