Grand Canyon Hike | Blue Mountains | Freedom Hike


Overview

If you ask us which one hike we will do for the rest of our life if there are no other options, it will definitely be Grand Canyons.

You either start from Evans lookout or the opposite side near Blackheath in the Blue Mountains and meet with a series of waterfalls, creeks and spectacular views along the awesome and greenest Grand Canyon track.

This freedom hike is a special event where we are dividing hikes in several groups some starting at 7AM and some at 10AM to accommodate huge demand.

This hike is a Grade 3 and good for newbies or all of us who are not as strong as they were due to staying at home during this difficult time of the lockdown.

Please make sure you read Sydhikers Hike Disclaimer before you join the hike. Please don’t join the hike if you disagree any part of it or are not willing to read it. Also this hike is only for fully vaccinated people due to NSW Gov’t restriction.

Meetup Point

We are not arranging Car Pool this time due to COVID restrictions and to make sure members safety.

We will meet at 394 Evans Lookout Road, Blackheath exactly at 6:45AM for group 1 and 9:45AM for Group 2. Please be on exact time we will be very strict on the timing.

We will start at 7AM and 10AM sharp and will not wait for anyone as we are very short on time.
