Every Blue Mountains village has some bushwalking tracks but for superb Blue Mountains scenery, Katoomba, Blackheath, Mount Victoria, Hartley, Wentworth Falls and Leura are the ideal spots.
There is a wide range of flora and wildlife. You will discover temperate rainforest, open forest canyons, such as on the Grand Canyon walk at Blackheath, containing many ferns and soft leafed trees.
Walkers not sure of their ability to handle the strenuous climbs in and out of the valleys may find the cliff-top walks, such as the Prince Henry Cliff walk, Nature Track circuit, Overcliff Track & Darwins Walk, and visits to the many look-outs more suitable.
The hardy will enjoy walks such as the Grand Canyon walk on Evans Lookout road, Pulpit Rock walk, the Giant Stairway, a climb down National Pass and up through the Valley of the Waters, maybe the Six Foot Track marathon or many more.
Some Historic bushwalks of a fairly 'easy' nature ranging from 1 - 2.5 hours are Lawsons Long Alley, Lockyer's Pass, Berghofer's Pass and the Old Shale Railway walk in the Hartley, Mount Victoria areas.
