Description

Approach: Follow trail from car park, ~14km up the glen to bottom of the canyon then hike up river left. Trail passes the bothy about half way along for an overnight/break. A few river crossings on the trail that could be tricky in spate. Could potentially be done car to car in a single day if cycling. Get-in: Here. Enter above main falls where it flattens out. Exit: At the bottom only
