This
walk is very easy but good footwear is recommended
At
the gorge, the Lower Falls are the first real show of power the river can
offer
and
during wet periods these waterfalls are extremely impressive as they thunder
below
your feet under the bridge
Once
in the Gorge there is an easy to follow path you will be delighted with
wild flowers
gently
cascading streams and some superb views both ahead of you and behind
After
a short but pleasant walk over rocky ground the gorge opens up to reveal
a
hanging valley with Steall Falls pouring into the scene from high above
A
further 15 minute walk brings you to the wire-rope bridge where you can
see
Steall
Falls at close hand, and test your balance and nerve by crossing the river
on the
steel rope bridge. Don't forget your camera and film, waterproofs and midge repellant!
