Several of the gorges have handrails and steps to aid bushwalkers, however there are steep, rocky slopes and ledges to negotiate, amongst other hazards, so it is important to ensure that you wear appropriate shoes when walking. Pay attention to park signage and to any directions issued by park rangers, and be aware of any changes in weather - heavy rainfall may cause flash flooding in the park`s gorges.
