Katoomba to Wentworth Falls via Mt Solitary

A fairly solid 2-day walk that takes you along the Jamison Valley from Katoomba (and optionally up) to Ruined Castle, over Mt Solitary and back up to Wentworth Falls. There’s some steep sections (up and down!) on both days, rewarded by some great views, waterfalls and cascades and nice walking trails. It can easily be done by public transport, or with a car shuffle.

Martins Lookout to Lost World Lookout

A half-day walk with nice views in the lower Blue Mountains – be prepared for some short but tough climbs. Starts at Lost World Lookout before descending to the bottom of the valley, and back up the other side to Lost World Lookout. Steep and rough track up from the creek, but nice views once you reach the ridge on the opposite side.

Hard

16 km return

6 hrs

Mount Solitary

This day hike takes you on the Golden Stairs, past the Ruined Castle rock formation, and a rock scrabble up to Mount Solitary. Amazing views of the across Jamison's Valley and surrounding areas. Like all the guidebooks and signs say, this is for experienced bushwalkers and I would highly recommend not doing it solo due to the exposure during the scrabble up to Mount Solitary. If you feel like walking a little further, there are aboriginal cave paintings at Chinaman's Gap. Please be respectful and follow all instructions on the signs.
