- Description
- We will park along Fire trail 2 off the Glow Worm Tunnel Road. The walk will initially be down the rest of the fire trail to Lurline Jack Lookout. From there we will traverse E to a gully that leads down to the valley and follow upstream to the Devil's Throat. This is a fascinating feature where the creek emerges from an underground section of Alcatraz Canyon. The approach and exit from the valley are quite scrubby but worth the effort. We exit on the S Side of the valley and head E where the views to the Devils Throat are great. We then cross the creek above Alcatraz canyon and return uphill to the cars,. About 5 hours walking, some mild scrambling without gut threatening exposure!
