This hike into the wilderness of the Blue Mountains is a stunning walk which is perfect for women looking for their first 3-day trip or experienced hikers searching for new trails 🌿

Starting at Blackheath Station and finishing at Mount Victoria, the walk involves hiking out of town to an awe-inspiring lookout, before dropping down into the depths of the Grose Valley.

After camping next to the river at Acacia Flats, we'll be hiking along the bottom of the valley to Burra Korain camping area for the second night.

The last day will take in the majesty of Victoria Falls, before the hike out of the valley and along the ridgeline back to Mount Victoria Station 🚂

This hike is a classic Blue Mountains bushwalk with the beauty of the Grose River rushing past, the convenience of bush toilets at both campsites and the fun of train hopping to complete this challenging loop.

Spring is the perfect time for bushwalking and the wildflowers will be blooming everywhere in October, creating a riot of colour across the landscape 🌺

All meals (dinner, breakfast + trail snacks) are included for the expedition. The supplies will be divided among the group.

💫 Is This Trip Right for Me?

This expedition is perfect for you if you:

🥾 Have a good level of hiking fitness and are comfortable with big hill climbs

🎒 Are happy carrying a hiking pack with the weight of all your gear

🌱 Have completed a challenging overnight hike

💛 Love being outdoors and are comfortable with roughing it in the bush

👯‍♀️ Want a supportive, women-only group to cheer you on

Prior intermediate or overnight hiking experience is strongly advised. Our guides will still support you every step of the way, from helping with your pack fitting to pacing, rest breaks and campsite setup - however, you'll enjoy this trip more if you're happy being in the bush with an heavy pack and are confident in your abilities to take on an intermediate amount of elevation on severe terrain.

This trip may not be suitable if:

🚫 You’re unable to walk on uneven terrain for two days

🚫 You have an injury or condition that limits carrying a pack

🚫 You struggle with intermediate elevation

Starting at Blackheath Station and finishing at Mount Victoria, the walk involves hiking out of town to an awe-inspiring lookout, before dropping down into the depths of the Grose Valley.

The route down to Acacia Flats is tight and steep dirt trail - a great leg workout before arriving into the stunning campground.

We'll spend the first night on the Grose River, nestled into tents by the water's edge at Acacia Flats. The site has bush toilets and is accessible only on foot. The wind rustling in the towering blue gums and the river burbling past will lull you to sleep after dinner and a fire.

The views from the ridgeline approaching Perry's Lookdown are incredible, even stretching to the Sydney skyline on a clear day. There are several scenic de-tours you'll take that are worth every step.

Enjoy tracing the journey of the river through the Grose Valley past Pierce's Pass. The lush trail winds up and down along the banks, showing ever-changing views of the surrounding cliff faces. You're truly immersed in nature in the heart of the valley for the entire day.

Victoria Falls is a wonder of nature. When the dense undergrowth parts for this marvelous sight your blood will be racing from standing so close to the thundering water.

The last day step of this expedition is to hike into Mount Victoria to catch the train back to Blackheath where we started.
