- Description
- Monkey Ropes Creek is a pleasant rainforest creek, cool and shady on a hot day. From near the start of the Nepean Lookout fire trail, we make our way down a side creek to the "y" in Monkey (Penrith map 745551), then down stream, ending at the big pool on Erskine Creek for a leisurely lunch and swim. Return via the Pisgah Rock track - about a 170 meter ascent. Note: involves some mildly exposed rock scrambling that most people find manageable. Not a long walk. About 5 kilometers if we leave a car at the Pisgah Rock parking area. This is a combined Springwood and Upper Blue Mountains walk
