Very good hike in blue mountains

The Blue Mountains

#australiatrip The Blue Mountains is a must see as it is a quick day trip. Parking situation is tolerable. The walk into the deepest parts of the park with the best views of the waterfalls can be challenging both going up and down. This is a must see you can stand where Queen Elizabeth once stood to view the three sisters, which is a rock formation. Or you can take the time to hike all the way down into the canopy of the forest where it is nice and cool as you cross the waterfalls that start with a trickle, and end up being majestic, you will be rewarded for all your efforts. The entire way is paved with asphalt, but does get a bit challenging as there are large block steps when you start going down into the forest that can be a bit tricky if you have knee or hip issues. This should not dissuade you just be careful and bring a walking stick .

Three sisters are waiting for you!

The three sisters are awaiting for you. This was an amazing trip. The wildlife park was perfect as we got to see the animals and birds up close and even feed some of the wallabies from our hands. The stop in town on the way for lunch was nice with good recommendations. The scenic world was nice to see the falls and forest floor. The cable car ride was enjoyable. It gave you a chance to see different parts of the mountains.The day was great to end with the ferry back to Sydney. Tony was wonderful from sharing information about everything as we passed, to a few dad jokes to keep it fun. I highly recommend this trip.
