Boree Log – Rodriguez pass hiking trip

Hey guys!
This is a breathtaking hike through the blue mountains national park. We will be starting at Evan’s lookout in Blackheath then weaving down into the valley, passing amazing waterfalls and scrambling along besides beautiful creeks, stopping at Junction Rock for lunch and then finally making our way back up to the scenic cliff top walk. This is a 6-7 hour hike which will cover 11kms in distance and 1 km in altitude! The changing altitude means we’ll get to see lots of different type of vegetation and the rain we’ve been having will mean the walk will be particularly lush and beautiful!!

Ok here are the important details:

Skills required:
-None. We wont be in a rush so there will be no problem slowing down for people who are having trouble.

Equipment:
-Hiking shoes or comfortable joggers
-Sunscreen and possibly a hat.
-Layered clothes. Depending on the weather it could be very cold in the morning, but we will get VERY hot whilst walking. So make sure you wear a singlet or something under your warmer layers so you can take them off while we walk.
-Swimmers! There is a place to swim at our lunch stop.
-Lunch and snacks. Keep your energy levels up or your body will be a wreck on Sunday and wont enjoy your Sunday trip.
-LOTS of water. Around 2 Litres

Plan of attack:
-We will get together at the camp ground around 8.30am on Saturday morning to make sure we have everyone, and everyone is prepared for the day. I would like to leave the camp ground by 9am.
-We will then organise ourselves into cars and convoy down to Evan’s lookout. If there is anyone driving  straight down from Sydney meet us here at around 9.30am. I would like to start the walk at 10am at the latest.
-We will then do the hike, have an AMAZING time and then mosey on back to the camp ground to get ready for Saturday night!!

See you guys there!
