Bryce's Gorge
Pieman's Falls
Only
twenty minutes walk from the carpark, Pieman's Creek plunges over
the edge of the gorge in a series of falls and cascades down to
Conglomerate Creek 700m below. There are three good viewpoints of
the falls with wooden rails but one of the best views of the falls
is from below.
There
are no tracks into the gorge but it is possible to enter the gorge
to the north of the falls and then walk around at the base of the
cliffs to a small rocky outcrop that looks up the first two falls
(there are three main falls). It is not possible to get to the base
of the first fall from this side (without scaling some hairy cliffs)
so my next attempt will be from the south side.
