About the River Caves Canyon Track

River Caves Canyon Track is a moderate-grade hiking trail in the Blue Mountains region of New South Wales, leading walkers into a section of gorge and cave country in the upper reaches of the area. The trail surface is mixed, with a combination of formed sections and natural ground, and the moderate rating suggests walkers need a reasonable level of fitness and surefootedness. Listed highlights for the track are the gorge and a cave, which give a clear sense of what to expect as the route descends from the surrounding plateau. Distance, elevation gain and estimated walking time are not currently recorded in structured form, so plan time generously and check local park signage before heading out. The track is not signposted as dog friendly, wheelchair accessible, stroller suitable or open to bikes. The location places it within driving range of other Blue Mountains features, including the Zig Zag Railway about 19.3 kilometres away, Walls Lookout around 28.6 kilometres away, and Hat Hill Falls roughly 29.9 kilometres distant. Canyon walks can become hazardous after rain, so check forecasts and water levels before committing to the route.
