Trail Description:
Looking for an incredible viewpoint? Lace up your shoes and head to the Burramoko Fire Trail to Hanging Rock, which snakes along an eventful, relatively flat section before opening up to one of the best views in Blue Mountains National Park, Australia. You might see some people scrambling to stand on Hanging Rock, but it’s best to keep this side-trip for experienced hikers as there are sketchy cliff drops. Plus, the image of Hanging Rock from the designated viewpoint is photo-worthy enough! Another thing to note is that this trail can experience partial closures for many reasons.
Despite the boring fire trail to and from the viewpoint, the outstanding image at the end makes up for the “blah” trail! So revel in Hanging Rock suspended over Grose Valley. Pack some snacks and a charged camera (or phone), and get ready for a remarkable viewpoint!
Setting out from Blackheath, you’ll follow the Burramoko Fire Trail to Hanging Rock. The trail is wide, attracting mountain bikers as well as hikers. Pack a hat and sunscreen, as the shade can be limited. Once you reach the end, admire the view of Hanging Rock before turning around and heading back the same way you came.
