Blue Mountains - Upper Blue Mountains

The true ceiling of the Blue Mountains unfolds across the Upper Mountains and trailing western escarpments. Branching out along Mount Victoria, the rugged lines of the historical pass roads, and the high-altitude tracks flanking the Bells Line of Road, this region trades the crowded valley paths for raw colonial history and exposed sandstone platforms looking out towards the vast western plains.

Adventures here split across distinct landscapes: tracking the original convict-built engineering masterworks down the steep sandstone gaps of Mount York, walking deep canyon slits out past hidden historic structures, or tracing dramatic headlands above vast, undeveloped canyon drop-offs where the Grose and Hartley Valleys collide.

Among the absolute highlights are the sweeping vistas from Walls Lookout and Rigby Hill, looking directly into the cleft of the upper Grose. Further west, the steep drops of Victoria Falls present a lush rainforest plunge, while the historic trade corridors of Lockyers Road and Cox's Descent take hikers past deep engineering heritage. For those searching for isolation, the paths carving through Asgard Swamp reveal remnants of early mining architecture alongside incredible escarpment lookouts.
