The Blackheath high grounds represent the raw, vertiginous pinnacle of Blue Mountains canyon country. Hovering at a significantly higher altitude than neighbouring valleys, this northern escarpment zone is defined by colossal, wind-scoured clifftops that plunge cleanly into the gargantuan abyss of the Grose Valley. It is a landscape where wild ridge walking gives way to sheer vertical drop-offs.
Here, adventures shift from tracking exposed, unshielded single tracks across ancient sandstone plates to descending into pristine slot canyons. Winding routes navigate prehistoric slot paths layered in moss, cool temperate rainforest pockets, and hidden pioneer cavern hideaways carved deep beneath the upper canyon rim.
Among the absolute best hikes in the region is the world-renowned Grand Canyon Track, a historic loop that drops deep into a lush, subterranean rainforest slot flanked by towering, moss-draped sandstone walls. For jaw-dropping panoramic lookouts, the trail along the Govetts Leap to Evans Lookout escarpment serves up unrivalled vistas of the Grose Valley floor. Those seeking isolated ridge walking can head out along Lockley Pylon for an incredible 360-degree viewing platform or follow Fortress Ridge to peer straight down into the wild, plunging depth of the canyon network below.
