Lockleys Pylon to Perrys Lookdown via Blue Gum Forest has to be up there with one of the most challenging yet most rewarding walks I have been on in the Blue Mountains.
This 10km one way walk, began along Lockleys Pylon walking track offering stunning scenic 360-degree views overlooking Grose Valley.
From here our walk took on the next level of excitement with a steep descent into Blue Gum Forest via Shortridge Pass. (not for the faint hearted)
Once in the valley we were surrounded by magnificent Blue Gum trees and dozens of Waratahs eventually reaching Govetts Creek.
We finished the walk with a steep heart pumping 2km walk back out along Perrys Track to another car we had previously dropped off.
I would definitely rate this level 4 hard and for the experienced bushwalkers only.

Thank you for that. The distant views in particular are just great.

Probably easier to navigate this way. Note that many people have got lost trying to do this track in the opposite direction in the past.

Very easy to lose your way on this walk. We had the AllTrails map working offline to find the trail

Hey mate, recently did pierces pass to Perry's lookdown, and am interested in other variations that conclude with Perry's lookdown. Just wondering how long LP to PL took you? Cheers!

Sorry, just saw your message now. This walk is a much more scenic and nicer walk compared to pieces pass. However, it’s a little more challenging on the pass after Lockleys pylon, heading down to blue gum forest. It’s around 10 km one way and will take you around 4 to 5 hours to complete unless you’re going to run all the way. The pass down from Lockleys is a little bit tricky but still very doable.
