Hike Summary
Exploring below the cliffs on the western side of the Scenic Railway this walk passes some spectacular lookouts especially the view from the Landslide. In addition to this it goes through beautiful shrouded forest before climbing steeply up the Golden Staircase. Once out of the valley be prepared for a long walk back along dirt and asphalt roads to Scenic World.

Yet another one for the list of Blue Mountains ? day walks…like ALL DAY, given I would travel from Sydney Central Station early morning by train …go for a hike & sometime late that day do the return trip to my Sydney suburban home ? … most likely when it’s dark ?
Done this walk many times. Jelly legs after climbing back up those stairs!!
Peter another trip?
