Prince Henry Cliff Walk

Overview

Any weekender in the Blue Mountains should involve a walk. For a classic experience, stroll from Leura Cascades to Echo Point along the Prince Henry Cliff Walk, passing several exhilarating lookouts on the way. As the name suggest, the trail follows the cliff closely, so you'll be taking in incredible views for seven kilometres.

Located at the start (or the end), the Leura Cascades is a serine picnic spot surrounded by tall eucalyptus trees. Take a short walk along the rapids on Leura Falls Creek down to Bridal Veil Falls and Leura Falls, where you can bathe if the pool is full, or relax on the rocks at the bottom of the falls.  Then, get back on the trail, which will take you past amazing vistas of Jamison Valley and lead to Echo Point, where you get up-close views of the legendary Three Sisters. From there, you can follow the Giant Staircase, which winds its way downwards, passing alongside the Three Sisters before reaching the valley floor, to join the Federal Pass, if you want to keep going. The track is moderate in difficulty and should take about three or four hours one way.
