Description


This walk starts at the Devils Gap carpark on the eastern side of the Tidbinbilla ring road. From the carpark I followed the Devils Gap fire trail in a short but steep climb up to Devils Gap. There were some views along the way, although most of the walk was through fairly thick forest.



From Devils Gap it is possible to go on for about 1 kilometer to reach Corin Road near Woods Reserve. As I had tacked this walk onto an already full day of walking, however, I decided to stop at Devils Gap and return the same way. While this isn't a particularly scenic walk, the climb up the range gets the heart pumping. It's a good short walk for the sake of having a walk through the forest.
