Blue Mountains National Park
West of Sydney, this national park protects a broad plateau cut by river valleys. Its spread across several districts makes a chosen section more useful than treating it as one stop.

The name suggests peaks, but the defining geography is a dissected plateau with deep river catchments. Katoomba, Leura and Wentworth Falls sit near different southern walking areas, while the park extends much farther. Its place within the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area adds conservation context to the views and tracks.
What to look for
An uplifted plateau carved by river valleys rather than a single mountain ridge.
Walking areas associated with Katoomba, Leura and Wentworth Falls.
A central part of the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area.
Useful to know
Choose a district and a walk before setting out; the park is extensive and fragmented by towns and roads.
Match a walking plan to conditions and check the park's current track advice.
