BLUE MOUNTAINS!
Awesome rainforest and mountainous terrain make a sweet hike. A nice view of the beautiful Three Sisters to start out the hike. We took most of the day to hike down the giant stairway and go through the valley over a landslide and to a highpoint called ruined castle. Lots of sweet pictures and 3 pairs of sore legs. Throw a little bouldering in there and you have one incredible day. We did our best to avoid the tours($$$), so we went into an outdoor gear store and asked about some nice areas. We bought a map and took off the next day. Well worth the price of the map and a lot more rewarding than taking tour buses and gondolas.
