The route cove rs around 11 kilometres and close to 900 metres of elevation gain, packi ng a very steep climb, captivating ridgelines, and two striking summits into a single day in the hills. The walk begins with a sustained ascentâ €”rising nearly 500 vertical metres in the first two kilometres (it’s steep!). A well known bench along the way offers a good reason to pause and take in wide views across forested valleys and the Canberra region. At the top of this climb we reach Snowy Corner, and turn North toward Ti dbinbilla Mountain, the highest peak in the reserve. From there we shoul d enjoy breathtaking 360° vistas stretching east toward the city and we st to the remote Brindabellas. Past Tidbinbilla Mountain the track follo ws a rugged ridgeline, through alternating open woodland and thickets of heath and scrub. The approach to The Pimple involves a short, fun rock scramble and some overgrown sections, arriving at its rocky platform, wh ich sits like a turret over the ranges and gives out spectacular views i n all directions. We return to the carpark the same way we came in. The walk back down is a real knee-tester and hiking poles are recommended fo r use on such steep sections. This walk is challenging but does not requ ire technical hiking skills—just sturdy footwear, fitness, and a willi ngness to spend a full day off the beaten track. Take ample water, food, and weather protection. The rewards are some of the best views in the a rea, and a genuine sense of achievement. The walk is facilitated in part nership with Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve. URL:https://canberrabushwalkingclub.mybilby.com/activities/3569 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
