Le 28 septembre 2024
Découverte d’une cavité facile d’accès des Alpes-Maritimes mais au concrétionnement riche et bien préservé : la grotte des Caranques au début des gorges du Loup au-dessus de Gourdon. On l’atteint par un sentier peu marqué dré dans l’pentu qui part du croisement des D3 et 603. Une petite désescalade puis un court boyau étroit mais surtout humide (mais pas une châtière) mènent à une grande galerie descendante d’une centaine de mètres dotée de gros volumes - dont une énorme méduse suspendue - mais aussi des spéléothèmes variés, dont un plafond de centaines de fistuleuses et quelques excentriques près de l’entrée de la galerie et de ses courants d’air. C’est superbe et généralement bien préservé (des rubalises étant censées canaliser les visiteurs) malgré un accès non technique (aucune corde nécessaire), la raideur du chemin de montée et le boyau d’entrée permettant sans doute de réguler la fréquentation !

le passage bas d'entrée, pas trop étroit mais humide ce jour
