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.

This is one of the best vantage points for scenic views across Grose Valley, taking in Blue Gum Forest and Govetts Leap in Blue Mountains National Park. There are many signposts to give you guidance which trail to take, their difficulty of grade, length and distance. Birding is quite good here too. Don't forget to bring your camera! Free admission.

The Grand Canyon Loop is just over 6km long, This Grand Canyon Walk was a true bushwalking adventure, with wonderful views, vibrant rainforest, waterfalls, creek crossings, impressive sandstone walls and massive rock overhangs. Whilst it had some very steep sections both climbing down into the ravine and later climbing out, the track itself was very well maintained and had countless stunning views along the way. However the last forty minutes or so climb up the canyon wall to the top edge was very tough going but finally we got to Evans lookout which did not disappoint, wiith breathtaking views across the immense Grose Valley. After a further 30 minutes, we reached our cars for a well earned sit down. Well worth a visit..

Stumbled onto this gem after travelling out to Pulpit (which was closed). This and the Wind Eroded Cave were great. So remote and untouched by the tourist masses that a resident snake even came out to greet us on the way back down.

What a find (goggle 20 best lookouts in the Blue Mountains). We drove to the parking area then walked about 100 metres to the lookout - it is breath taking. There are not barriers so if you have children hold on to them. Sunset is an amazing time to visit and the photos opportunities are wonderful. Quite a few people at this time but so worth it and everyone took their photos and moved on. We waited until almost dusk and had the place to ourselves.
