Sleeping Beauty Cave

The main sleeping area is fairly level and smooth, but can become damp.  There are several other areas to sleep, but these are more exposed.  With day trippers visiting the cave quite often, don't expect much privacy!

The main stream passes right through the cave, and this can provide all of your needs so long as no one muddies the water.  In winter the stream may dry up completely, but you should be able to find water lower down the valley where several other small tributaries enter it.

There are several small pools in the vicinity of the cave, and in summer one can wash off the day's sweat below a little waterfall inside the cave itself.  The best pools are to be found lower down the valley, on the route up to the cave.

The main sleeping area is very sheltered since it is tucked against the back wall in the furthest reaches of the cave.  The large blocks of rock near the main entrance prevent the wind from getting under the overhang.  However, no sun reaches into the cave, making it particularly cold, especially in winter.

Due to its "real cave" features, there is not much of a view to be seen from inside except for a small part of the valley below.  However, if you venture further up the valley towards Engagement Cave, you will find yourself in a wonderful little secluded section.  A short climb up one of the sides of this section will provide some fine views of the escarpment in clear weather.
