The Slieve Mish Mountains (Sliabh Mis in Irish) are a mountain range found in County Kerry in the Ireland.
Geography
Overlooking Tralee Bay on the northern side and Dingle Bay on the south, they extend for approximately 19 km from east to west. They run from the mainland just south of Tralee along the centre of the neck of the Dingle Peninsula, before ending in a series of low foothills and deep river valleys which separate them from the Mountains of the central Dingle Peninsula further to the west. The mountain range is relatively narrow, extending only about 7 km from north to south. The mountains form a high ridge of sandstone which was deeply incised by glaciers in the last ice age, leaving behind U-shaped valleys and corrie lakes. Dozens of peaks are to be found here, only a few of them named: Glanbrack Mountain, 664 m; Baurtregaum (Barr Trí gCom), 851 m high and the tallest peak in the range; Gearhane (An Géarán), 792 m; Caherconree (Cathair Conraoi), 835 m.
Caherconree is linked to Baurtregaum (851 m), to the east, by a narrow ridge. There are two deep glens either side of this. North of Caherconree's summit is the long narrow mountain called Gearhane (an Géarán).
Caherconree in myth
Caherconree is named after a stone ringfort that sits two-thirds of the way up its southwestern shoulder, overlooking the mountain road called Bóthar na gCloch ("road of the stones"). The ringfort is surrounded on three sides by steep cliffs. In Irish mythology this is the fort of Cú Roí mac Dáire, who was able to make it spin around at night to stop any attackers from finding the entrance. In the story of Aided Con Roí, a king's daughter called Bláthnat is kidnapped and taken to the fort by Cú Roí. She is rescued by her lover, Cú Chulainn. Bláthnat signals to Cú Chulainn that the time is right to attack by pouring milk in a stream. This stream is now called the Finglas (from an Fhionnghlaise meaning "the white stream") and its source is close to the remains of the ringfort.

Camping and hiking Caherconree
In this video I took a trip down south to county Kerry. I hiked up Caherconree and camped beside the magical fort that is filled with Irish history and mythology. I then hiked to the peak at 5am and saw one of the best sunrises I have ever witnesses. In this video I managed to get some of the best drone footage I have ever captured.
