Approach[edit]
Car Park: park at a locked gate to the left of the Glowworm tunnel road at MGA408166
Walk-in: Go past the barricade and follow the old trail down to a small camp ground. Continue to the right and the trail leads you around some nice open scrub to a dry creek bed. Follow this down to the start of the canyon.
Descent[edit]
Where the creek drops into the start of the middle constriction (MGA403167) there is a scramble down a slot between boulders, this can be avoided by swinging up to the left and following a steep but easier trail down from higher up.
Follow the creek bed down into the main section
Prior to the lower section closing in it is possible to scramble up to the left for views into the top of the Canyon and over the Wolgan Valley and Donkey Mountain
