Photography | A trip that has a strong focus on encouraging people to capture photographs.](/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/camera.png) (Fully Booked) Most people have walked the famous Grand Canyon in the daytime, but have you ever experienced it at night?
Why would you want to do this you may well ask! Well, for starter,s you'll see an incredible display of glowworms that make the Glowworm Tunnel pale into insignificance. If lucky, you may also see glider possums, frogs, crayfish, bats and other denizens of the night. The one thing you won't see is the usual crowds that frequent the Grand Canyon in the daytime. Last time I did this walk we only encountered a couple of people. Bring a torch. Location: Blue Mountains National Park Map: Katoomba 89301S Limit: 20.
