Women's Blue Mountains Weekend Megalong Valley Cabins

Travel & Outdoor

Details

We're back to the stunning Blue Mountains! If you have been following Women Want Adventure for some time, our communities favourite weekend away is to Megalong Valley. This weekend is a combination of two great hikes, wine around the fire, bush cabin accommodation (with no reception) and plenty of laughs and relaxation.

Hidden away in Megalong Valley are the Bush Cabins for our accomodation on Saturday post hike. All healthy and delicious meals are prepared for you, the inside wooden fire will be on and the outside fire ready for marshmallow toasting in our ugg boots and beanies.

But let's not forget the hiking. We will experience the beautiful trails and views of Govetts Leap, explore the ridge track to Pulpit Rock and cross the Six Foot Track 'Cox River Swing Bridge' on Sunday.

Each hike offers a variety of breathtaking views and is a great challenge to build fitness and develop hiking confidence. This is a beautiful weekend getaway filled with adventure, fitness and opportunity to meet like minded hiking friends.
