Grand Canyon track - Blue Mountains National Park
Did you know that we have our very own Grand Canyon in New South Wales?! Located near Blackheath in the Blue Mountains, the Grand Canyon is created by the rushing waters of Greaves Creek slicing through the canyon's soft sandstone for millions of years. The Grand Canyon track, a 6.3 km grade 3 walking trail, is considered to be one of the best rainforest walks in NSW. This heritage-listed track, constructed in 1907, meanders through the lush rainforest and crosses Greeves Creek in several places. The sheer number of steps and rock overhangs in the track make this walk challenging and quite an adventure. There are three car parks close to the track; the Grand Canyon loop car park, Neates Glen car park and Evans Lookout. While Evans Lookout is the closest to the track, i t does not matter which one you choose, simply follow the signage towards Grand Canyon track. If you park in Neates Glen car park, it is easier to do the walk counter-clockwise and finish off at Evens Lookout.
