Three Sisters Walk
The short, mostly flat walk from Echo Point to the foot of the Three Sisters - the one view every first-time visitor comes for.
Blue Mountains walks and lookouts
From a 25-minute stroll to the Three Sisters to two days along the clifftops. Every walk has a route map, directions to the trailhead and a free GPX file to use offline.
The Blue Mountains has hundreds of walking tracks. These are the ones worth your day, with the detail you need to actually get there: where the trailhead is, where to park, whether the train works, and a map you can use when the phone signal disappears, which it will.
Distances, times and grades are the official NSW National Parks figures. Grades follow the Australian Walking Track Grading System: Grade 1 is flat and sealed, Grade 3 has steps and short steep sections, Grade 5 is for experienced bushwalkers only.
