Curtis Falls

There is a large sign in front of the Mountain House pointing to the various trails. Look for Curtis Falls and then cross the road to the start of the trail. Not far into the trail it splits - it is clearly signed, so follow the Curtis Falls track which descends steeply to a stream crossing with a steel ladder on the far side. Pick you way over to that, it should be possible to keep your feet dry.

Once at the ladder stop and look back at where you came from, as it is not clearly marked when you return. Now just follow the undulating trail, over 3 small bridges until eventually at about 1.6km it starts to descend (and decend and descend some more) and you get a glimpse of the river below. So down you go and just as you are reaching the river you will see a large orange triangle with Curtis Falls handwritten on it - head left over those rocks through a small trail and over some more rocks down to the river.

Again at this point, stop and look around, slightly downstream you will see an orange marker pole and probably a couple of rock cairns. This is what you look for on the way back to know where to leave the river and which rocks to climb over. Now, turn around and head upstream until you reach the falls. There is no correct way, but it is pretty easy. Should you need to cross the river there are plentiful sections with large rocks and once again it should be possible to keep your feet dry.

Once you have reached the falls, grab some pics and retrace your steps
