The trail to Rainbow Gorge takes you through a lush, magical forest that feels a world away from everything. You'll follow the river, hopping over boulders and discovering stunning waterfalls and clear rock pools perfect for a chilly dip. The path starts with a steep but paved section to get your heart pumping, but soon levels out for a gentler walk into the gorge itself. We enjoyed the views of Cathedral Peak from here in the distance.
