We walked this on a morning during the July 2021 heatwave. The walk is extremely well waymarked, following the yellow loop initially and then the red loop, with a short diversion to the top of Kenmore Hill. The path is generally in very good condition. The clouds were down to 100m or so above the highest point for the first half of the walk but lifted steadily as we started to descend and we had great views of Loch Tay, the summits of some of the Lawers Group and Schiehallion as the day progressed, although the highest tops were never completely clear. Varied vegetation and many butterflies. Thoroughly recommended - moving time about 1hr 35 mins. There are boardwalks in a couple of sections which could be useful in wet conditions.
