Are you looking for some fun? Below are our top five must-dos if you are in the Blue Mountains.
Adventuring in Empress Canyon
Exploring the canyon is like an exciting drink you can sip in the Peruvian Andes; it mixes rock climbing, bushwalking, and abseiling to produce a tremendous adrenaline rush and, in some cases, profound spiritual insights. The goal is straightforward: stick to a watercourse that emerges from the mountains as a river, stream, or tributary. Scrambling, climbing, sliding, jumping, rappelling down waterfalls, and maneuvering through steep ravines is more like a stroll along a tranquil brook on a bush walk. If you are interested in visiting the canyon but are concerned about the risks involved, do not hesitate to contact the Outside Walla Walla team.
The Pool of Siloam for A Swim in The Wild
Nothing is more satisfying than working up a sweat on a magical jungle walk and finding a tiny watering hole to plunge into. Two such places are the Pool of Siloam and Lyrebird Dell, where you can relax and clear your mind.
Both are convenient; however, the quiet path off Carleton Road has the more spectacular views of the Three Sisters. Those looking for a stroll can take the 1.5-kilometer loop that connects the two swimming areas and the Gordon Falls Picnic Area. At the same time, those seeking adventure will appreciate the track’s connections to other paths that allow them to explore a much more significant portion of the Blue Mountains.
The Oaks Loop MTB Ride
A lot of folks who are looking for a little bit of excitement choose to use the 28-kilometer path that links Woodford and Glenbrook. The fire route is a great ride for beginners when weaving through towering trees and out onto picturesque plateaus with views across the Lower Blue Mountains valleys.
A Leisurely Float Down Colo
This could be the perfect thing for you if you are feeling brave and want to do something different in the great outdoors. If you are planning an overnight trip on the Colo River, it is wise to take two cars. It is recommended to park one car near the conclusion of Bob Turners Track and the other at the beginning of the Grassy Hill Fire Trail (Canoe Creek Track). You will need to pack your belongings into a waterproof bag and follow the river’s path from point A to point B.
Since this one might be dangerous at certain times of the year, you should prepare for anything. It is best to get your “river legs” on a tamer water section if an overnight excursion is too daunting.
Jenolan Caves Caving
This is the perfect little micro adventure, where you may be led on a pleasant, safe, yet slightly claustrophobic form of underground yoga for a few hours. The limestone stalagmites, stalactites, and crystal formations of the Jenolan Caves have been developed over millions of years. The caves are like living fossils. Researchers are documenting the ages while also watching the caves alter and grow.
