The route people come for. Five days along the spine of the Blue Mountains with a pre-dawn start on day four to be on the Peak for sunrise, then a long descent to Hagley Gap. Day two is the hardest walking we do: eight and a half miles with more than a thousand metres of climb, most of it in cloud forest.
