Diorite Falls: Hike OR Bike
📅 Sunday 19 November 2023 6:30 am
📍 Location: Paluma Range National Park
About this event
Leader - Cherry Judge (Riding) + TBA walk Leader
Rated: For the moderate level hiker and beginner to intermediate trail rider.
This is an on-track walk and ride. Don't let the combo crew put you off.
It is an easy track though I'll say that you do need to have a good level of fitness as the uphill sections on the way back, while not technically difficult, has a continuous incline & can go on for a bit and of course you have to consider time on feet / in saddle. So if you can keep up a moderate pace with the group [ walk OR ride] for about 3-4 hrs walking and about 2 hrs riding, then you should be fine.
Tentative plan -
Start from Paluma Dam.
The riders will obviously get to Diorite earlier, but you [rider] must be prepared to stay and swim or explore till the walkers are ready to head back to Dam.
Riding time - 1 hr to the falls and maybe a bit mroe on the way back because of the steepness.
Walking Time - 1.5 hrs there and 1.5 hrs back
At the falls - Riders - 1.5 hrs min [ we can explore around some of the creeks] - the pool makes for excellent swimming. Or bring a book and chill!
At the Falls - Walkers - 1 hr.
Post Walk- Ice cream at Frosty's
