Papamark, I’ve rode up the blue mountains…as high as the road allowed. That’s all it took for me to have the same desire as you and that is to hike through them. It hasn’t happened yet because due to lack of luggage space (definitely a female decision) I couldn’t bring my boots which are a must. But it’s still on my list.

Escorted by the right guide, and respecting your own abilities, I’m confident you will have no problem with the hike. Although I can’t recommend someone for you right now, I will start tapping into my sources and pass on to you whatever information I gather that would be helpful with your planning.

As I mentioned in one of my reports, the entire experience of being in the mountains was incredible but what I couldn’t get enough of was seeing the falls that were visible from the road. Oh my…you hear them way before seeing where the roar was coming from. Then suddenly you turn a bend or take a few more steps forward to find yourself staring in awe at the most breathtaking sight. I know the blue mountains houses many falls you can only see when hiking. Yeah going to make room for those boots this time.

No Maryann, unfortunately I haven’t had the pleasure of staying at prince valley guesthouse but I think I’m going to look into it.
