Hike Summary
One of the longer day-walks in the Katoomba area this track goes from the very popular Scenic World to the fantastic lookout on top of the Ruined Castle and then on to the amazing Mt Solitary. Be prepared for a long but amazing day of viewing the Jamison Valley. Make sure you are back to catch the train up in time or be prepared to walk out one of the alternate routes either via Furber Steps or via the Golden Staircase.
