Sitting above heather and grass covered slopes, Creag Leacach is a bouldery crest of a mountain, linked to the massive dome of nearby Glas Maol. A old wall and line of fence-posts lead along the spine of the Munro, aiding navigation in poor weather.

Creag Leacach overlooks the lower section of the Devil's elbow and its car-park from where most people begin hiking up this Munro. Being linked to nearby Glas Maol, which is immediately above Glenshee Ski Centre at over 600m, Creag Leacach is often hiked with this and other nearby Munros.
