As I’m just discovering the beautiful Blue Mountains in NSW, it was awesome to make the trek yesterday to the Grand Canyon Walk. It’s around a 2.5 hour drive from Sydney and if you follow the signs to the Grand Canyon or the Evans lookout you’ll hit it pretty easy.
I left home pre sunrise so I arrived around 7am, I’m not sure if it’s like this all year round, but the walk was covered in a eerie mist til around 9am. Which made for some pretty cool pictures and even more dramatic due to the recent bush fires.
Once into the forest a little deeper, the burnt our remains from the fires started to turn into the lush green of the rain-forest. To make the crossover from the blacked out bushland to the beautiful greenery on my own in the middle of the woods was a experience I’ll never forget.
It is definitely a awesome track and it took me around 2 hours to make the loop back to the car and due to the crazy amount of stairs, I was quite knackered at the end so I ready for a trip to the bakery.
I can’t recommend it enough, and my only regret was taking so long to make the trip out.
All pix shot on my Canon and 16-35ml lens, and there are so many opportunity’s for cool pictures you will love it all.
Til next time
Chris
