This second gorge is deeper and more enclosed than the first, typically requiring a short swim through a long, narrow pool where the rock walls close in on both sides. Depth here is usually too significant for wading, and conditions can vary depending on recent rainfall, making it the most committing section of the trail. This stretch is often the highlight of the walk, with still water, shaded rock walls, and a more enclosed, canyon-like feel.
