Join us for a fantastic 2 day guided hiking / trekking / bushwalking adventure to the magical Grose Valley in the Blue Mountains  west of Sydney. On this magnificent walk you'll discover a series of beautiful secluded worlds through the Upper Grose Valley, starting with the dramatic Grand Canyon. The panorama at the end of Govetts Leap Road is one of the most breathtaking in the Blue Mountains - a vista of greenery stretching to the horizon, constrained by sheer cliffs of rippling sandstone.

We'll camp overnight at Acacia Flats situated by Govetts Creek, deep in the beautiful Grose Valley. Please note this is an authentic hiking experience with each person carrying a full pack. There is no road access to the campsite so each walker will need to assist in carrying the groups food and equipment.
