4 - Day Walk
Glenbrook, Jack Evans Track, No Name Ridge, Erskine Creek
The walk starts at the car park at the top of Jack Evans Track, but we will meet at Glenbrook Park entrance and drive to start. We head down the JE track to just short of Erskine Creek then turn south up to No Name Ridge. On reaching the summit we head ESE along the ridge. This offers a magnificent view of Erskine Creek on both sides of the ridge, and of the cliffs on Word Cave Hill to the north. The ridge is reasonably straightforward, but there is a little exposure. At a couple of points, we take a detour to avoid an impasse before returning to the ridge. One such detour will involve the use of a tape. We arrive at Horseshoe Pool, possibly the best swimming pool in the Blue Mountains. Hopefully, it will be warm enough for a swim. We then head back down Erskine Creek, west then north, before re-joining JE Track via a 200 m off-track short cut. Alternatively, if energy and enthusiasm levels are high, we can continue along Erskine Creek to the junction with the Nepean and Word Cave and ascend the ridge to the Nepean Lookout. Est. time 5-6 hrs, 7 km, and 400 m ascent.

So, this activity is classified as a creek walk not a canyoning trip, and the grade is a walk grade not a canyon grade. Two fun canyons to do in a day. Total walk in and out of around 4km. Helmets and wetsuits are mandatory.
