Things to do in Blue Mountains, New South Wales: The Best Scenic Walking Areas
The Blue Mountains are named for the delicate azure haze that lingers along the region, which is actually a fine cloud of oil emitted by eucalyptus trees. The mystical mountains are a labyrinth of plateaus, gorges and gum trees. Check out the Katoomba Scenic Railway (the steepest railway in the world), the Jenolan Caves and the Giant Staircase nature walk.

Grab a few drinks and some snacks, take a blanket, and arrive about half an hour before sunset to score a spot overlooking Boar's Head and Narrow Neck Plateau. It's really magical to see the cliffs lit up in the fiery red of the sunset. Perfect way to say farewell to the sun.

4. Gordon Falls Lookout

Reviewed By Roganroy - Leatherhead, United Kingdom
There is plenty of parking and a toilet here. The path to the lookout is not obvious but the route is right along the cliff path towards Leura Cascades. The views over the Blue Mountains are fantastic, but there is only a partial view of the falls. A strongly recommended walk.
