South Bowens Creek - Upper - Bells Line - Blue Mountains Canyoning - 4K

This canyon is a very popular canyon and for good reason, it is simply stunning! It is easy to get into to, has a number of abseils, some of which can be skipped by climbing around, and some of the most stunning high, ferny, green canyon walls you will ever come across.

We left one car near our exit at Range Hill Fire trail, and another vehicle at Pierces Pass turnoff to save a long walk back along Bells line at the end.

The entry track in is very well-defined and not hard to follow at all. The feeder creek we followed was super slippery, boots in a lot of places gave no real grip and perhaps one of us ended up on their butt, wondering how they went from vertical to horizontal so quickly.

After the main two abseils, you drop into a pool and just to your left, Corkscrew Canyon finishes. Many people go for a short wander up into the bottom sections.

When we shot this vide, the water in places was just ankle deep, a couple of weeks later, a chest deep wade in the same place!

The canyon varies but for the most part is just stunning steep sided walls covered in green ferns. There are a number of places with coachwood forests on sand flats, one of which we stopped and had lunch.

There are a few more abseils before you meet up with Hobnail Canyon coming in on your right, a lot of people also explore the bottom sections of this canyon, but trust us, it is worth doing, we will put a link in the video to that canyon trip through Hobnail Canyon.

A few hundred metres and one final cold swim later, and you are at the exit.

The exit has some fixed hand line scrambles, a tunnel climb, then two options for the final ascent, a challenging fixed hand line ascent which we show, or, further around, a steep scramble. From there, it is a gradual uphill back to Range Hill fire trail and back to Bells Line and your car.
