The nearby and spectacular Grand Canyon track has to be one of the best walks in the Blue Mountains. The walk descends through a forest of giant trees ferns, goes behind a waterfall, through a short tunnel and follows a cliff hugging trail into the canyon itself. Be inspired!
Park your car at Evans Lookout. Take a snack, water and a camera.
Be prepared though for lots of steps. Medium grade of difficulty. Allow 2 to 3 hours for the circuit.
