10 Things to do Good for Adrenaline Seekers in Blue Mountains That You Shouldn't Miss
The Blue Mountains are named for the delicate azure haze that lingers along the region, which is actually a fine cloud of oil emitted by eucalyptus trees. The mystical mountains are a labyrinth of plateaus, gorges and gum trees. Check out the Katoomba Scenic Railway (the steepest railway in the world), the Jenolan Caves and the Giant Staircase nature walk.

We walked as a family of 2 adults and our kids age 16 and 14, setting off from the Wentworth Falls picnic area and completing the circular trail in a clockwise direction. The walk is challenging in places, so there is a level of fitness required in order to enjoy. 'Slack Stairs' wasn't as bad as it was made out to be I felt. The infrastructure was secure, though some of the paths along the bottom were a bit rough. We walked at a steady pace and thoroughly enjoyed the walk which took us 3 hours.

There are 3 walks: Waterfall (30 mins max) Lookout (10 mins max from car park) Plateau Walk (30 mins max each way but you will want to spend some time admiring the incredible view). You can look at a cave enroute - it says 10 min return but it is only about 30 seconds along the path. It took us 30 mins to drive there from the entrance to the park in our 4wd. It can be done in a normal car but a little slower. There was a campground enroute and lots of other driving and walking tracks if you have time to explore more before getting to the Kanangra Walls. It then took us 20 minutes to get to the Jenolan Caves from here.
