Mount Banks Road cycle route

Starting at Mount Banks picnic area, this undulating route sweeps around the base of Mount Banks, taking you through diverse open heath and woodland, to the edge of the escarpment high above the Grose Valley wilderness. It’s an ideal for cyclists, or walkers and families who love a wilderness day-trip without the crowds. The medium-difficulty gravel trail heads deep into the World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains. In spring and summer, look for wildflowers as you wind along the trail, passing Mount Banks on your right before arriving at the cliff top above the famous Banks Wall. Gaze across the magnificent valley to the Grose River, Govetts Leap and the spectacular Blue Gum Forest. This moderate 2hr ride or 3-5hr walk has several steep sections. The track can be overgrown and obstacles including rocks and fallen trees can be common. https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/cycling-trails/mount-banks-road-cycle-route
