The circuit is an approx 17km intermediate grade track and punctuated with breath-taking waterfalls, amazing scenery and too many "Oh WOW!" moments to count.
These start early into the walk before you even descend into the valley with beautiful cascades tumbling over the escarpments and views across the valley toward the Gold Coast.
As you descend into the denser ancient rainforest the moments just keep coming as you encounter beautiful rock formations, hidden glades and crystal clear pools with the only sounds being bird life, the wind in the trees and roar of waterfalls which provide numerous photo opportunities throughout the walk.
Around half way we reach the "Meeting of the Waters"; a beautiful peaceful spot where a number of streams meet in a boulder filled, rainforest paradise that leaves you feeling like you've been transported back to the prehistoric age. This is our lunch spot spot!
After lunch and a nice break we set out again and start to head back up to the ridge. The walking gets a little harder but it's easy to be distracted by the scenery (and more waterfalls!) making the time pass quickly.
Just when you're starting to feel the climb you're rewarded with another beautiful waterfall that the track passes behind, before continuing on to the top of the escarpment and a pool that is the head of the waterfall you passed under. The track then follows the cliff top providing numerous lookouts and views back across the valley as you make your way back to the carpark.
To get there from Brisbane use the Pacific Motorway and take the exit 69 at Nerang, then onto Route 97- Nerang Murwillumbah Rd, then left onto Pine Creek Rd, Canyon Parade Springbrook.
NOTE: The Springbrook Rd remains closed

Great bunch of ladies as usual. Gorgeous guides and beaut scenery.
Another great AW excursion around our beautiful city and banks of the Swan River, well-led by the dynamic duo Jazzy and Sue O. Saw lots of interesting features and enjoyed the company of friendly co-walkers. 19km sounds long but was definitely doable.
Wonderful day out. Relaxed pace. Plenty of time to look around. Lots of breaks. HEAPS to see.
Lovely ending with a celebratory drink at the Guildford Hotel at the end. Great Day 🎉🎉
Great walk and location. Weather was perfect and nice group of ladies to chat with.
Fantastic walk with a lovely group and Leonie was so informative, kind and ensured we all had a great time. I was especially appreciative of her help and consideration. My first SA adventurous women outing and I was so pleased to find a warm welcome and amazing afternoon
Lovely late afternoon walk, amazing views for enjoying Chris' delicious mulled cider.
We enjoyed an easy hike on Mt Coot-tha's new Spotted Gum 2.4km track on the way down with more of an uphill challenge on the way back up to the Summit. The group of like minded women was really friendly made for a pleasant outing. Chris is a really nice host.
Such a lovely walk with very kind and friendly people and a great host in Leonie.
