Burramoko Fire Trail to Baltzer Lookout and Hanging Rock This is an easy ride (or walk) with several length options depending on fitness. The trail follows a mainly level fire trail until the last 100m of track, and is therefore suitable for all ages and experience. With breathtaking scenic views, wild flowers and photo opportunities along the way, keen bush walkers won’t want to miss out either. Distance: 15.6km (return from Blackheath), with shorter options available. Elevation Climb: 266m Difficulty: Easy Time Suggested: 1 hour 30 mins return, plus lookout appreciation and exploration time. (Walk: 3-4 hours) The Trail: For a full 15km cycle or walk you can start in the town of Blackheath. Just park, or hop off the train at Blackheath Railway Station and head west along the Great Western Highway, then turn down Ridgewell Road on the right. A short roll down Ridgewell Road will bring you to a carpark and from here on in there will be no vehicles to contend with. Continue through the gate and you'll soon start to enjoy immersing yourself in the Blue Mountains bush. Burramoko Fire Trail is relatively flat with a couple of short steep inclines to test your strength. Travelling through heathland and open forests you'll have magnificent views on either side of the trail for most of your journey. This is a fire trail, so you'll have plenty of room all the way until the final gate just 100m from Baltzer Lookout which offers magnificent views of the Grose Valley. You'll really want to spend some time to explore, so bring a chain and lock up your bike so you can relax and enjoy a potter around. The firetrail ends at a large clearing which is the perfect place to ditch the bike. Continue up the narrow, rough walking trail to another large clearing, then you'll find a rough and rocky path to Baltzer Lookout. From here you'll have magnificent view of the Grose Valley and the sheer sandstone cliffs that the Blue Mountains are famous for. Hanging Rock is on the left and was harder to spot than expected. Baltzer Lookout and Hanging Rock are rough unfenced clifftops so extreme caution should be taken and children will need to be under supervision at all times. Hanging Rock is a large spire of sandstone that has split from cliff face and hangs precariously towards the valley. There are recent examples of landslips which can be seen from the lookout. This is a dangerous area. Remember - a

The nicest place in the Blue Mountains. Hard to find, you might need to ask some locals when you get close. If you have the time, this is a must do.

Amazing look out after a great walk or ride. You can access on foot or on mountain bike. The first part of the walk is dog friendly.
