Intermediate Hiking - Mt Solitary

No friends? No plans over the Kings Birthday public holiday? Good at putting one foot in front of the other? That's why we're putting together an epic three day hike through the Mount Solitary track!

First it'll involve bashing past tourists at Katoomba kiosk before descending into Federal Pass. After pitching tents at Ruined Castle campground, we'll scramble up the rock formations where we'll watch the sunset and talk about our feelings.

The next day we will soar through Korowal Knife Edge like a majestic wedge tail eagle. Just kidding, it'll be 5 hours of prime time WrestleMania up the western ridge of Mount Solitary. There we'll be rewarded with amazingball views of Jamison Valley. If we're lucky, we'll get to see the aforementioned eagles soaring through the valley thermals. We will then descend from the eastern ridge of Solitary down into Kedumba River campground. After pitching tents for the night, lyrebirds will then serenade us into a well earned slumber and we will dream of a cold pint and hot schnitty at the pub.

For the third day, Jamison and Leura Falls creeks will pass us by as we wander through Leura forest and into the rainforest gully known as Fern Bower. Two waterfalls will cool us down before we make a final ascent up to Katoomba. We will drive back to Newcastle and resolve to make more friends.

While we welcome all friendless/socially inept, this is an intermediate hike. Therefore some hiking experience and physical fitness is a prerequisite. Your ticket includes gear hire for the weekend and transport to and from the Blue Mountains. If you have any questions please email a.wong45789@gmail.com. I would much rather you ask now rather than on the trail. I will smite you with all the might of Asgard if the latter happens 🥰
