Zig Zag Track climbs the southern side of Cataract Gorge Reserve in a series of steady switchbacks, gaining elevation quickly through dry forest. It’s a more challenging option compared to the easier gorge walks, but the payoff comes as you rise above the river, with clear views of the gorge and the iconic Kings Bridge below.
