One of the most spectacular non-technical canyons around Sydney, the relatively short Rocky Creek Canyon offers multiple water-jumps, water slides and narrow and enchanting slots.
A fun, partly off-track Blue Mountains bushwalk in Valley Heights that follows a creek past small cascades and swimming holes. (You can also follow the firetrail but that wouldn’t be as much fun!)
A largely off-track loop along O’Hares Creek from the Victoria Road Trail up to the Jingga Pool, which passes secluded pools, cascades and tall sandstone cliffs.
A loop bushwalk in the Blue Mountains that’s great for a hot day. It descends Govetts Creek past Myers Fall to Henson Glen, before returning via Bruces Walk.
A loop bushwalk which follows the 10B Trail and 10D Trail up to an access point along O’Hares Creek in Dhawaral National Park. The return leg follows the creek back to Jingga Pool, along a number of deep pools and some small cascades.
A challenging bushwalk to the Grose River in the Devils Wilderness. The route follows Browns Ridge along the Browns Ridge Trail, before a steep descent into the Grose Gorge via Browns Creek.
Originally established in 1931, the historic Bruces Walk was restored and re-opened in the 1980s. The trail has multiple ladders as it traverses multiple valleys, with an optional side-trip to a re-discovered waterfall.
The Lorne Waterfalls Circuit in the Otways combines two shorter loop bushwalks, passing five waterfalls and traversing multiple sections of lush rainforest (including The Canyon).
The short but picturesque Happy Valley Track in Mount Wilson descends through rainforest to a waterfall and pristine swimming hole. The return route takes the Cathedral Creek Track up to Cathedral Reserve.
The bushwalk along Lawson Ridge provides access via short detours to a trig point, waterfall and an informal lookout with sweeping Blue Mountains views.
