The Six Foot Track is a long hiking trail in New South Wales, Australia that stretches from Katoomba to Jenolan Caves.
[1] The journey from start to finish took approximately eight hours and was very popular until motor vehicles gradually took over in the twentieth century, and an alternative route to Jenolan was built.
[4] Starting on the western outskirts of Katoomba at the Explorers tree, the track descends via steep steps through the temperate rainforest of Nellies Glen to the Megalong Valley floor.
A dedicated campsite is available where most people camp the night before the demanding climb up to Mini-Mini Saddle the next morning and then the descent to Alum Creek.
[5] The track is best walked in spring or autumn due to the heat and bushfire hazards of summer and the cold nights and rain of winter.
