Description
The Valley of the Dinosaurs is a spectacular gorge in Mugii Murum Ban SCA, near Capertee. See why this spectacular area needs to be protected for the future. We will visit the Ultimate Slot first, then enter the Valley of the Dinosaurs gorge from its entrance, then follow it up and exit via an easy side slot. Then view the gorge from the top and visit the top of the Ultimate Slot, nearby. If the gate on the 4WD trail is open, we will drive to the top in my 4WD in 2 trips if no other 4WD is available. Otherwise theres a 1.8 km each way walk from the bottom. The walk is partly off-track with a 4 (MH) grade. About 7km, 6 hours and 200m elevation gain. Add 3.6km and 200m if we walk from the bottom. There is some easy rock scrambling and no difficult parts. There is a description of a variation of the walk in the book Mugii Murum-ban SCA by Keats, Fox and Bolotin.
