This is a relatively shallow creek crossing; you’ll step across rounded boulders and stones while the clear mountain water flows around the rocky creek bed. Surrounded by open forest and scattered granite rocks, this crossing marks an early point on the walk before the track continues upstream toward the Lower Portals, and you may get your feet wet along the way. It’s a good idea to plan ahead for this to enjoy the rest of this beautiful walk.
