Highlights

  • Embark on a two-day trek along the historic Six Foot Track, immersing yourself in the stunning Blue Mountains scenery.
  • Experience the tranquillity of an ecolodge nestled in bushland, providing a perfect retreat near Cox's River.
  • Cross the iconic Bowtells Swing Bridge, enjoying breathtaking views as you journey towards Magalong Valley.
  • Conclude your adventure at the historic Explorer's Tree, where early explorers etched their legacy into the landscape.

Let the team at Peak Potential Adventures take you on a professionally guided and fully supported two-day trek of the historic Six Foot Track in the Blue Mountains. This trek would be regarded as one of New South Wales’ most iconic overnight treks. The Six Foot Track is a 45-kilometre-old horse and cart route that was built in the late 1800s to ferry supplies between Katoomba and Jenolan Caves.

Your overnight gear will be transported in the support vehicle, so you’ll only need to carry a day pack over the 45-kilometre journey. One of the highlights will be to stay overnight in the tranquil ecolodge which is nestled in bushland just back from the beautiful Cox’s River. Day two of the trek starts with a crossing of the famous Bowtells Swing Bridge as the team makes its way towards Magalong Valley.

Finish the trek at the historic Explorer’s Tree where Gregory Blaxland, William Lawson and William Charles Wentworth, the explorers who achieved the first known successful crossing of the Blue Mountains of New South Wales by European settlers, carved their initials in 1813.
