For those planning to complete the entire 19km journey along Grand Cliff Top Walk this tour offers a special introduction. For others, this 2-3km guided loop is a rare opportunity to see this UNESCO-listed area through the eyes of a park ranger.

As you weave in and out of the cliff line you can expect world class views across the Kedumba and Jamison Valleys to Mount Solitary, the Three Sisters, and beyond. You’ll stroll through open forests, along creek lines alive with bird song, and under sandstone overhangs dripping with water filtered by hanging swamps. Before completing the tour you’ll explore a slot canyon and meander along a rainforest track where more than 80 per cent of sunlight is filtered out by the dense canopy. This is a circuit walk and our journey concludes back at our starting point.

As you walk, listen for the haunting call of the yellow-tailed black cockatoo (Wumbarrung in Gundungurra language). The Wumbarrung has special significance to Gundungurra traditional custodians, and its flight reflects the moods and seasons of Gundungurra Country. It’s also the wayfinding icon on the signage for Grand Cliff Top Walk which traverses land managed by Blue Mountains City Council as well as Blue Mountains National Park.
