Jellybean Track is a 1km, grade 3 hike located in Blue Mountains National Park, New South Wales. The hike should take around 45 minutes to complete.
Hike overview
This walk visits the Jellybean Pools a popular swimming hole and lovely area in Glenbrook Gorge. Starting at the Glenbrook entrance to the Blue Mountains National Park the walk follows a well maintained track down the hill crossing a road a couple of times to come to the Jellybean Pool. The river can be particularly dangerous after rain so if in doubt check with the rangers. A great place to cool off on hot days.
When it's time to pack up the car and get out of town, Jellybean track and pool offers a great day trip for you and the kids. It's a great spot to cool off on hot days and is not too far from the city either. Starting at the Glenbrook entrance to Blue Mountains National Park, leave your car at the Glenbrook Information Centre and start the walk from there.
The walk follows a short track downhill to the serene Jellybean pool, flanked by sandstone cliffs. If you've worked up a sweat, you won't be able to resist a dip and the kids will love swimming and liloing in these calm waters. Roll out the picnic blanket on one of the sandy beaches or lie back in the shade of the gums and doze off to the sounds of the bush.
This walk takes you into the Glenbrook Gorge, passing mountain spotted gums and grass trees. Keep your eye out for kestrels and other birds of prey as they glide through the air looking for food. Watch for brilliantly coloured rainbow lorikeets or the cheeky gang gang with its distinctive call. If you're lucky, you might also spot a dazzling blue kingfisher zipping around the water.
