The Terrace Falls Circuit is a 4.7km, grade 3 hike located in the Blue Mountains region, New South Wales. The hike should take around 2 hrs to complete.
Hike overview
If you like waterfalls, this is a cracker. You start up high on the escarpment with a lookout which looks over the valley you will soon be dropping into, you will walk a mix on old/new fire trail until you hit the creek you will be following and criss-crossing for the next few kilometres, this is the start of single trail which you will be on until the end. Oh and waterfalls start here! Victory Fall, Terrace Falls, these hum just after rain! There are a number of small out and back trails off the main circuit, worth doing with picturesque waterholes at their ends.
The Terrace Falls Circuit is relatively easy, but it does have some uneven terrain and several short uphill sections. The time estimated allows for plenty of time stopping to enjoy the falls and take photos but you could certainly do it in less.

Getting there
This is on the south side of the Great Western Highway on a dead end road called Lake Road, tricky to fine the 1st time but worth it. You can drive there, don't be fooled by the looks of Lake Road, there is a small park for 2-4 cars down past the locked away houses. The start is also easily walkable from the Train Station.
