One of the easiest canyons around Sydney, Wolgan View Canyon (also called Dry Canyon) has two narrow, deep and spectacular slots that have been carved into the sandstone.
Carved out by a twisting tributary of Deanes Creek, Tiger Snake Canyon has an upper section (3 abseils) and a lower section (1 long abseil). Some deep and spectacular slots in both sections.
A very scenic and occasionally challenging bushwalk from the old Pilcher Point track down into the Grand Canyon, and then a steep descent along Greaves Creek via the historic Rodriguez Pass walking track. We return the same way; you could come back via the Horse Track to form a loop.
A challenging loop walk from Dunphys Campground in the Megalong Valley, descending via the Carlon Creek Track and then following Breakfast Creek upstream as far as we can. A tough exit through thick scrub via the Glenalan Spurs to the Medlow Gap Management Trail.
A family-friendly 6km return walk, the Lost City bushwalk offers dramatic views of the Gardens of Stone State Conservation Area, and passes some of the remains of the historic mines.
A spectacular canyon in the upper reaches of Budgary Creek in Wollemi NP, River Caves Canyon is one of the shorter and easiest non-technical canyons in the Greater Blue Mountains.
A long descent from Evans Lookout via the Horse Track to Govetts Creek, before following the creek upstream to the spectacular Edenderry Falls and Hilary Falls. The easy and pleasant walk along Govetts Creek offers many swimming opportunities.
A short but challenging loop walk that combines the historic Gladstone Pass, Lindeman Pass and Roberts Pass in the Blue Mountains. A combination of rainforest and classic Jamison Valley views.
This scenic Blue Mountains bushwalk explores two Narrow Neck passes, descending Redledge Pass and returning via Rock Pile Pass. Many spectacular ledges and views!
A challenging and mostly off-track bushwalk between the historic Blacks Ladder and Esgate Pass on the Radiata Plateau. The reward is some impressive ledges and spectacular views.
