Katoomba to Mittagong Trail

Starting at Katoomba, the walk descends via the Narrow Neck Plateau to the Megalong Valley, crosses Coxs River then follows Scotts Main Range[1] to Yerranderrie, a former silver mining town that now serves as a tourist destination.

A slightly shorter but very scenic exit can be made by climbing out of the Nattai Valley on Starlights Trail.

Highlights of the walk include views from Narrow Neck Plateau, views from Scotts Main Range, ruins of old properties along Scotts Main Range, heritage buildings and scenery at Yerranderie and scenery around Lake Burragorang.

The walk is best made from north to south as the terrain is much more difficult to conquer in the opposite direction.

For very fit walkers, the walk can be completed in six days, although extra time should be allowed for seeing Yerranderie if desired.
