With a variety of walking tracks, it provides ample opportunities to explore the valley's natural beauty. The Grand Canyon Track is a 6-kilometer journey through lush rainforest and past several waterfalls, including the stunning Bridal Veil Falls, while the challenging 12-kilometer Rodriguez Pass trail takes you up to the cliff top for some incredible views, with Evans Lookout being a great spot for panoramic views of the valley.

My family and I had the pleasure of completing the Evans Lookout to Victoria Falls walk, a two-day hike through the Grose Valley that offers stunning views of the valley and several waterfalls along the way. Starting at Evans Lookout, the walk takes you through lush rainforest, rocky trails, and scenic lookouts. It follows the Grose River until it meets Victoria Creek, where the trail ends at the beautiful Victoria Falls.
