Lockleys Pylon Day Hike

UPDATE (2025-03-06): Rescheduled to Sunday fortnight (2025-03-16) due to severe rain forecast.

Hi folks!

Leo, I (Grant) and Hugh are heading up to the Blue Mountains to do the Lockleys Pylon Track. It’s a short hike through sandstone heathland with gorgeous sweeping views over the Grose Valley.

We’ll be meeting at the Lockleys Pylon Trailhead at 10:30am; the hike is 7km return and should take around ~2-3hrs all up. In terms of difficulty it’s moderate with a few short steep hills but otherwise flat (compared to other hikes around the Blueys that is).

Day-hike packing list:

• Sturdy enclosed/hiking shoes
• Sun protection (hat, sunscreen etc.)
• 2L+ water
• Food/snacks
• Possibly a jacket – can get a bit windy

Definitely let us know if you’ve got a car below and also what your favourite plant, animal, tree or insect to double check you’ve read everything! As an aside, autumn’s not the best season for wildflowers, but Hugh and I are such plant nerds we’re bound to find something curious to point out.
