Lockey Pylon to Blackheath Station is a 16.5km, grade 4 One way hike located in Blue Mountains National Park New South Wales. The hike should take approximately 2 days to complete.
Summary
This walk starts in the low heath and cliff views of Lockley Pylon. The pylon and other notable features can be seen along the track while the descent down to the Blue Gum Forest provides plenty of photographic opportunities. After camping overnight at Acacia Flats the walk heads out via Govetts Leap and Pope’s Glen visiting many little cascades and the awesome Bridal Falls. A great overnight walk.

This is one of our favourite Blue Mountains walks – especially in Spring when the wildflowers are out. There is an excellent 7km return walk to Lockley Pylon from the end of Mt Hay Road.
Sarah Wheeler is this the one you did?
The comment below has the start of the trail we did. My Hay Road and we continued on to blackheath instead of doing the return
Sean Roche Ive always wanted to do a hike in the Blue Mountains
Hi guys,
I am planning to do this hike in December. we think we will park the car at the Backheath station, and transfer to Lockley Pylon to start the hiking. But I am not sure how to get to Lockley Pylo. Can anyone suggest please?
