2. Great Blue Mountains Canyon
850-meter deep Grose Valley
While most tourists stick to Echo Point, the Grose Valley offers a deeper, more rugged, and far less crowded experience. This is the Grand Canyon of Australia, featuring 850-meter vertical sandstone cliffs. The most impressive lookouts, like Pulpit Rock and Govetts Leap, are hidden from ordinary bus tours.
Local Guide Tip: Charles Darwin visited Govetts Leap in 1836. It remains one of the most breathtaking, unobstructed views in the entire national park.
