Grand Cliff Top Walk Photo Adventure — Day 2

Two Days. Endless Views. A Photographic Journey Across the Blue Mountains Escarpment.

Join Photography Adventure Guide Jay Evans for a guided photographic journey through the heart of the World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains.

Combining hiking, photography, and nature interpretation, these adventures explore some of the most spectacular sections of the Grand Cliff Top Walk, traversing dramatic escarpments, waterfalls, ancient forests, and breathtaking valley vistas.

Along the way you'll photograph iconic landscapes, native flora and fauna, and ever-changing mountain light while learning practical field techniques for landscape photography, composition, and visual storytelling.

Led by an experienced wilderness guide and photographer, this is more than a photo walk—it's an opportunity to immerse yourself in one of Australia's most remarkable natural environments and experience the Blue Mountains from a deeper perspective.

Book each day separately, so join us for one day or both.

Day 2 - Olympian Rock to Wentworth Falls - Sunrise Over Mount Solitary and the Wild Heart of the Jamison Valley

The second stage of our Grand Cliff Top Walk Photo Adventure as we explore some of the most dramatic landscapes of the Blue Mountains between Leura and Wentworth Falls.

Beginning at sunrise from the spectacular vantage point of Olympian Rock, we'll photograph first light spreading across the Jamison Valley toward Mount Solitary, Kings Tableland, and the distant southern wilderness.

As the day unfolds, we'll continue east along the escarpment, discovering waterfalls, cliff-top viewpoints, forest trails, and some of the most rewarding photographic locations in the Blue Mountains before concluding in Wentworth Falls.
