Hike 19km in 2 days (or 1 long day) along the Grand Cliff Top Walk, which seamlessly links Wentworth Falls, Leura, and Katoomba. You'll discover Aboriginal culture, spectacular lookouts, countless waterfalls, and unique Blue Mountains villages.
Starting where the 4wd track starts to get particularly dicey as it begins the last drop to the Severn River follow the 4wd track down to the river which you will cross and follow down stream (this will be one of a few river crossings you will need to complete if the water level is high enough). Once you reach the circuit part of the walk this is where you will come across the main features of the walk. Described anti-clockwise you will first head up a steep section to a saddle which has a worthwhile detour to 'Hell Hole Peak' the small knoll that sits above the bend in the river and offers great views to the North and East. Then you descend to The Hell Hole a waterhole in the river and follow the river around to beneath the Rats Castle where you will cross the river and close the loop crossing the river once more before returning the way you came.
A varied terrain walk. Sandy in parts, then really rocky in some. The first part of the walk I followed mainly the Spring Mountain fire trail which was mostly flat. When I got to Back Alley trail it started inclining for about 2kms till I got to the Spring Mountain. I climbed as far as the first cave I came across then didn’t climb the rest... although it looked doable, I was by myself and didn’t want to push my luck. It was about 10km on the way up. Return trip I went down the Daisy trail which seemed to be an old mountain bike trail. It descends quickly and is rocky, eroded in parts and hard to walk on and requires a lot of scrambling and concentration. I then got to Narelle’s Climb, this terrain has been gravelled at some stage. I also saw a red belly black snake!! I decided to bypass White Rock as I’d seen it enough times and head back to where I started. Was about 9km on the way back. If I do it again I will do it in reverse and go via White Rock.
From Red Rock Gorge Campsite pick up the old National Park boundary fence and follow this rough line to the summit.

An easy walk along the river. Known for its Pheasant Coucal bird population.
No need to complete the full 14 kilometre Warrie circuit, but instead walk 3 kilometres (of the 17 km track) and see at least 3 waterfalls. You are walking along the side of the cliff with sheer drops below and rock faces above.
Very picturesque and one of the nicest walks in Springbrook National Park. Not to be confused with the view of the Goomoolahra Falls from above.
What starts out as ordinary walk leads to some great rock hopping, swimming and gorge exploring
