Our first visit was to Doreen Falls before heading up the hillside to tackle some scrambles and a ladder. Joining the route of Tuesday's descent we passed Ribbon Falls before walking higher onto the Lower Berg. Our lunch stop was enhanced by the sight of a group of Grey Rhebuck in the distance. Passing a salamander on the way we continued over Tryme Hill, from where we were able to see the full extent of Rainbow Gorge, our first day's walk. A salamander posed for the cameras as the whole group walked by.
Doreen Falls - just catching a rainbow
A few rocks are followed by . . .
a short ladder
We all seek the shade of the rocks for a brief pause
Ribbon Falls, seen initially on the second walk
Mount Helga stands out in front of the escarpment . . .
and Ribbon Falls from a higher viewpoint
The escarpment continues to impress . . .
and at our lunch time stop Claire spots some grey rhebuck in the valley
The easy path gives lots of opportunity to take in the spectacular surroundings . . .
but we need to keep our eyes on the path . . .
to avoid stepping on the salamander
