Often regarded as the most impressive walking trail in the Blue Mountains, the Grand Canyon Walk will leave you in awe as you hike through lush rainforest with several creek crossings, waterfalls, huge sandstone walls and rock overhangs.
Constructed and opened to the public in 1907, the 6km long Grand Canyon walking track was the first of its kind and has since been challenged by thousands of hiking enthusiasts each year.
Our NSW Coordinator Deb will meet you just before 10.00am in The Grand Canyon Loop carpark - the car park is fairly large but she will be wearing a bright orange Adventurous Women Cap for easy identification and her contact number will be supplied with your booking confirmation should you need to contact her.
Deb has completed several times this fabulous walk several times or more and knows the track (and the Blue Mountains) like the back of her hand.
Make sure you bring your lunch along so we can enjoy a picnic at the end of the trail (weather permitting)

A perfect day out to escape from the everyday; a great mix of relaxation and trying new things!
I can highly recommend this adventure! Neville and Belle made us feel very welcome on the amazing catamaran. And as always, Sue O was the best and most thoughtful guide. I would definitely do this again!
The best afternoon I've had in a while, couldn't think of a better, more fun, inclusive, invigorating & after ... relaxing way to spend an afternoon.
Special thanks to our Organisers for the wonderful afternoon T & catch up - really hit the spot :).
I'm becoming a Member & looking forward to more Adventures with like minded, amazing women.
Thanks to Jo and Simone for a fun day learning to surf with a great group of like-minded women
This was a very interesting walk looking at amazing views and architecture toped off with very informative historic details that Chris delivered. Also an enjoyable social catchup with pizza and a larger. Thanks Chris
Wonderful afternoon having heaps of fun trying hard to learn how to surf. Laughed lots ! Jo and Simone were just lovely. Great afternoon tea afterwards
Another fantastic AW activity. Such fun to explore an area of the Swan River that is not well known or easily accessed and the ‘scrambling’ over a range of obstacles just added to the enjoyment and the challenge. Leonie, from Water Wanderers Wanderers, excelled herself with our picnic lunch and her enthusiasm for our river adventure.
What a great afternoon! Good fun!
A great way to spend a fun filled afternoon on the river thank you for yet another memorable adventure.
