Using a variety of trails this circuit is a good walk for those looking for a shorter walk in the Medlow Bath area. Unfortunately, it does not have the views of the Megalong Valley that many of the other walks in the area do have. It is really the sidetrips that make this walk enjoyable, especially the short trip down to the small cave. Let us begin by acknowledging the Dharug & Gundungurra people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
