Pack a picnic and enjoy a day trip to marvel at the Three Sisters rock formation from Echo Point, in Katoomba. Take in sweeping views of sheer sandstone cliffs and hazy blue Grose Valley declared wilderness area from Govetts Leap, in Blackheath.

At Wentworth Falls you're spoilt for choice with world-class lookouts, walks and waterfalls. Why not take on the challenge of hiking 19km from Wentworth Falls to Leura, then on to Katoomba over two days on Grand Cliff Top Walk?

Blue Mountains National Park is a walker's paradise, boasting over 140 kilometres of tracks and trails. Climb Mount Banks' summit or descend deep into the Grand Canyon. Combine a short walk with Aboriginal rock art or a swim in a natural pool, near Glenbrook.

Mountain bike riders can tackle the famed Woodford-Oaks trail, scenic Narrow Neck, or Faulconbridge Ridge trail. There are also great opportunities for adventure sports tours, including abseiling, rock climbing and canyoning.
