Do you enjoy bushwalking? New South Wales offer many trails with varying degrees of challenges.  One of the walks you would enjoy is the “Grand Canyon Walk”. This walk is in the world heritage listed Blue Mountains National Park. The walk takes you along the path of a canyon and in places, it avoids deeper and more dangerous sections of the canyon by following a path cut halfway up the cliff – This off track path offers spectacular views of the valley.
The forest vegetation along the path is mostly Dry eucalypt forest.  This 5.4 kilometer track will take you about 3.5 hours to complete. The degree of difficulty is categorised as “easy”.
The Blue Mountains is a 90 minute drive from Sydney. The walk begins from the intersection of Grand Canyon Loop car park and Neates Glen Track in Blackheath.
