Meetup Point

We are not arranging Car Pool for this hike, it will be upto the individuals and the NED team to organise their travel

We will meet at 394 Evans Lookout Road, Blackheath exactly at 7:00AM so we can start and finish the hike before the full sun of the Summer. Its a walk in the canyon which means less exposure of sun and less heat so don’t be too much worried about the heat of the day.

We will start at 7AM and the hike will start at 7:15 AM Sharp.

Hike Plan

We will gather at the car park as mentioned above from there we will divide into smaller groups according to Blue mountains national park rules.

We will take short breaks along the way for pictures and snacks. There are a few waterfalls and caves along the way as well as Evans lookout which is good refreshing break for snacks and pictures.
