Day 1 : Katoomba, Three sisters, & Leura Cascades (10 km walk)
Depart Sydney at 8am, to the beautiful Blue Mountains. Stop at Wentworth Falls before a short drive to Katoomba to from Katoomba Cascades, past the famous Echo Point lookout (Three Sisters) for a picnic lunch. Finish with a 5km stretch along Prince Henry Cliff Walk to Leura Cascades. The walking today is relatively easy, whilst taking in some of the highlights of the area.
Day 2 : Ruined Castle (14 km walk)
Today’s walk starts at Katoomba Cascades. Descending Furber Stairs, you get close to the impressive cliffs and waterfalls, and into lush wet sclerophyll forest. Then the trail skirts the base of the cliffs with changing vegetation and forest types. Enjoy lunch at Ruined Castle, with sensational views to Mount Solitary and across the Jamison valley. After lunch return via the same trail for a short while before ascending out of the valley on a different set of stairs for a change of scenery.
Day 3 : Pulpit Rock to Evans Lookout & Grand Canyon (10 km walk)
These two walks together create the ultimate Blue Mountains walk. Starting at Pulpit Rock and its amazing lookout platforms, the track heads along the tops of cliffs looking over Grose Valley. Enjoy a series of lookouts and small grottos until you reach Govetts Leap Lookout. Then make your way into the absolutely remarkable Grand Canyon, a wonderful world of hanging gardens, rocky creeks and fern-lined gullies. It really is one of
the best walks in Australia. After the sensational canyon walking you have to ascend out of there! Finishing at Evans Lookout, it’s a flat stroll back to the bus that’s waiting to take you back to Katoomba. This day offers some of the best walking in Australia.
Day 4 : Pierce’s Pass, Grose Valley, Sydney (6 km walk)
Today head to a very quiet part of the Blue Mountains, the Grose Valley. The walk starts off with tree ferns and cliffs and an easy descent into beautiful eucalypt forest. The descent to the river gets a bit steeper – which means the descent also can be challenging – but the views of the peaceful valley are worth it. At the river there are some spots to enjoy and soak up the stunning scenery before the ascent, and a return to the city beckons. The drive to Sydney is about 2.5 hours from Blackheath. This walk requires a pre and post tour stay in Sydney, which we are able to offer at an extra cost.
