Australia National Parks: Blue Mountains

The Blue Mountains are located just 99 kilometers from Sydney. Being less than 100 kilometers from Sydney, this is one of the most popular day trips from Sydney. It is so popular because it is a national park. The park is home to mountains, gorges, rocks and lots of flora and fauna. Because it is so varied here, people have decided to build hiking trails. These hiking trails offer the opportunity to walk at a high level for several days, or to walk for an hour at a very accessible level. In addition to hiking, sports such as horse riding, climbing, mountain biking and abseiling are also possible here.
