3 - Canyon
Christmas Lights - Grand Canyon by Night
Grand Canyon at night sparkles with glow worms! If you haven't done it by night it is worth stumbling over wet rocks in the dark to see them. And for those that have done it, it is always a great trip. There is only one 17m overhanging abseil at the start but after that there is a lot of wading, scrambling and a few swims with the extra challenge of being dark. Despite being summer it gets cold at night in the canyon, particular after the first swim. Wetsuits and all the usual abseiling gear is needed, as well as a waterproof torch and spare batteries. We will start a bit before sunset but won't be back at the cars until late, probably around 11:00 pm. Like previous years, we will bring a bit of Christmas fare and have a late night feast at the end of the canyon before climbing back up to the cars.

Beyond the Miracle Slot
Well walked by the UBMBC is an area along the cliffs of Carne CK that includes the Rain Cave, Double Arched Cave and the so called Miracle Slot. Our walk starts further south and passes along some remarkable passages running parallel to the cliff line where slabs of cliff are slipping downslope towards Carne Ck. Last year we tried to put this walk on the program but hot weather forced us to to substitute a creek walk. We will have a back up creek walk ready in case it's too hot this year too but let's hope for a cool days walking !

Ridges East and West of the upper Grose River
From the Victoria Falls Road, we will descend West down a steep ridge, cross over the upper Grose River, climb a ridge to the South, find a route down to the Grose River, and then head East back up the hill to the road. It won't be a long day, but the first descent is steep so it requires some agility, and there are a couple of hills. The last third of the walk is exploratory for the leader.
