During park fire ban periods, all campfire and solid fuel (wood, heat beads, charcoal, briquettes, hexamine) barbecues and stoves are prohibited. Gas and electric barbecues and cookers are permitted as long as:

    • They're under direct control of an adult

About

An exhilarating cycling route that takes you deep into the central wilderness of Blue Mountains National Park, Andersons trail descends into unspoilt bushland and links to Woodford - Oaks trail for an added challenge. With ultra steep sections, this loose gravel trail is an adrenalin-fuelled adventure bound to challenge even those most experienced at mountain biking.

Winding through steep gullies, scenic creek crossings and dense scrub, you might be sharing the trail with a resident echidna or swamp wallaby. Breathe in the fabulous aroma of the peppermint gums as you cycle past the open forest.

With the option to stay a night at Murphys Glen campground, you can turn a cycle ride into a heart-pumping adventure weekend. Keen riders can start this trail from Wentworth Falls train station.

This incredible trail in the heart of the Blue Mountains sits to the east side of Kings Tableland Road. I'm not a mountain bike rider, but I live on a neighbouring property to the trail and it is by far one of the better tracks to treck during spring or autumn. On the hotter days it is rewarding when there is a nice breeze, as it does get windy. There are no public amenities in the area, with the nearest toilet located at the end of Kings Tableland Road. About 10 minutes past the start of the track. This trail is subject to damage after heavy rain.
