Hidden Valley Hiking |
February 23, 2007 |
This weekend we are heading off on another hiking trip to the Budawangs. This time we are heading into the park from the Sassafras entrance, and going to be walking through Newhaven Gap, past Quilty's Mountain and into the Hidden Valley.
We are expecting the walk to be of medium grade, with a total of about 26km to cover in the two days.
Of course there will be a complete trip report and photos to follow some time after the trip is complete.
But you can find some examples of what we will be seeing here:
