The Blue Mountains hosts some of the most spectacular waterfalls and scenic views.
The Blue Mountains is about an hour’s drive from Sydney and is a popular destination to visit for a day. The Blue Mountains has everything from the lush Jamison Valley to incredible waterfalls and the Three Sisters.
The easier waterfall walks may make it more suitable for those who have a family, the elderly or anyone who has low mobility.
So, what Blue Mountains waterfall walk is actually the easiest? The Charles Darwin Walk is considered one of the easiest waterfall walks in the Blue Mountains! The walk is five kilometres long and is considered the flattest walks.
The walk starts from the town Wentworth Falls and takes you to the waterfall itself. The walk starts from Wilson Park, and you follow Jamison Creek which takes you across different landscapes. There are bridges and walkways across the creek as well and there is plenty of chances to spot wildlife.
Other things to do in the Blue Mountains
The Blue Mountains has plenty of things to do. Whether you’re visiting for a day or a couple of days you’ll have waterfalls to see, a chance to explore Jamison Valley, see rock formations, and so much more.
Scenic World
Scenic World is a great place to visit when in the Blue Mountains. Scenic World consists of three rides, the Scenic Railway, the Scenic Cableway, and the Scenic Skyway. There is also a Scenic Walkway which allows you to walk along a 20 minute long boardwalk through Jamison Valley.
Three Sisters
The Three Sisters is one of the main highlights of the Blue Mountains. You can view the rock formation from Echo Point lookout which also provides views of Jamison Valley.
The Three Sisters is an Aboriginal Dreaming story about Meehni, Wimlah, and Gunnedoo who were three sisters, part of the Katoomba tribe. The sisters fell in love with three Nepean tribe boys who were brothers.
Due to tribal laws the sisters and brothers couldn’t marry, which caused the boys to try to capture the sisters. The boys’ attempt caused a battle between the tribes, which caused a Katoomba elder to place a spell on the sisters which turned them into sandstones.
The Blue Mountain also has a lot of different walking trails to do. You can select a couple to do during your visit or do one and spend the rest of the time seeing other attractions up in the mountains.
