Carn na Caim is a fairly featureless Munro summit, and more part of the vast plateau east of Drumochter and Dalwhinnie rather than a hill in its own right.

The most popular and most straightforward way up A'Bhuidheanach Bheag and Carn na Caim follows a fine track from near Dalwhinnie up to the faint remains of a disused quarry. Thereafter, fence-posts indicate the route to these Munro summits.

A longer and more enjoyable outing is to combine A'Bhuidheanach Bheag and Carn na Caim with Meall Chuaich just to the north of the high plateau. Navigation can be testing, even in clear conditions.
