Trade the bus for an emtb and ride the Blue Mountains from Katoomba to Glenbrook: sandstone escarpments, the Three Sisters, a 27 km fire trail descent and playful singletrack near the bottom. This full-day guided tour blends cultural history with serious riding—and transport from Sydney.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You meet at a garage opposite Central Roasters, coffee still steaming in your hands and an emtb humming quietly beside the minivan. The guide clips on a helmet, points down a narrow lane, and for a moment the town of Katoomba falls away—replaced by cliff rims, sharp sandstone escarpments, and the eucalyptus-scented air that gives the range its famous blue haze.

The Blue Mountains mark the western edge of Sydney’s sandstone plateau; European exploration by Blaxland, Lawson and Wentworth in 1813 opened western settlement while Indigenous Gundungurra and Darug peoples have maintained deep cultural connections to these lands for millennia.
Conservation
Trail use is managed to reduce erosion—stay on marked routes and avoid widening trails; guides support Leave No Trace practices and respect Indigenous sites and signage.
