🫶 Why You’ll Love This Hike

Starting at the Gladstone Road entry in Leura, we’ll step straight onto the freshly upgraded paths of the Grand Clifftop Walk. As we warm up, we’ll track along the dramatic clifftops of Leura before pushing toward Katoomba, with the immense Jamison Valley and Mount Solitary stretching wide beside us. We will journey past roaring lookouts, quiet forested gullies, and the world-renowned Three Sisters at Echo Point. By staying high on the escarpment for the full 9km, we’ll wrap up our adventure at the iconic Scenic World. It is the perfect, soulful way to celebrate completing this world-class trail together!
