The climb to the Rest and be Thankful begins
This gradient on the A83 is maintained without variation to the summit. The penalty for this engineering feat has been a weakening of sections of the upper slope and has led to numerous landslips closing the road. The old single track road generally followed the contours of the ground with minimal disturbance to them and did not suffer the same problem.

Glen Croe from the summit of Beinn an Lochain
The whole of the upper glen can be seen in this view, from the Rest and Be Thankful down as far as the bend above the Little Rest.
The main A83 road to Argyll climbs steadily along the slopes above the old Military Road which follows the bottom of the glen. The new road is plagued with landslips and the old road has recently been overhauled to provide an emergency alternative route.
The glen is guarded to the left by The Cobbler (Ben Arthur) and to the right by The Brack. Ben Lomond can be seen in the left distance. The ridge in the right middle distance is on Ben Donich and the road in front of that is the B828 to Lochgoilhead.
