- Description
- The walk starts at the car park at the top of Jack Evans Track, but we will meet at Glenbrook Park entrance. We head down the JE track to just short of Erskine Creek then turn south up to No Name Ridge. On reaching the summit we head ESE along the ridge. This offers a magnificent view of Erskine Creek on both sides of the ridge, and of the cliffs on Word Cave Hill to the north. The ridge is reasonably straightforward, but there is a little exposure. At a couple of points we have to take a detour to avoid an impasse before returning to the ridge. One such detour will involve the use of a tape. We arrive at Horseshoe Pool, possibly the best swimming pool in the Blue Mountains. Hopefully it will be warm enough for a swim. We then head back up Erskine Creek, west then north, before rejoining JE Track. Est. time 5-6 hrs, 7 km and 400 m ascent.
