Hike Summary
The Federal Pass is an excellent track that guides you past much of Katoomba's iconic scenery. The walk starts from Cliff Drive in Leura and winds into the Jamison Valley exploring Leura Forest and passing the base of the Three Sisters. The walk follows the historic Federal Pass beneath Katoomba Falls before you catch the Scenic Railway out of the valley (the last train up is at 4:50pm).
