🥾 Hike Overview
Stretching through the heart of the Blue Mountains, the Narrow Neck Trail follows a spectacular ridgeline between the Megalong and Jamison Valleys 🥾⛰️
This long out-and-back fire trail is all about big distances and even bigger views, with sweeping scenery on both sides before reaching a dramatic lookout overlooking the Kanangra Wilderness and Lake Burragorang.
We will have a 30min lunch break at Clear Hill (midpoint). Please bring your packed lunch.
