This will be a relaxed exploration trip.
Visit the jewel in the crown of Gardens of Stone and marvel at the magnificent rock pagodas, sheer cliffs and endless scenic views of Baal Bone Gap. If you’re four-wheel driving, head out to Baal Bone Gap for a picnic and some of the finest views in the Blue Mountains. You’ll find huge examples of the rock pagodas that make this part of the mountains unique and see stunning sandstone cliffs and
extensive views. Baal Bone Gap is a popular place to begin a bushwalking exploration of the western end of the park. Enjoy a picnic and head out among the distinctive grass trees for a truly rejuvenating experience, but remember that trails are unmarked and walking in Gardens of Stone is for experienced and well-prepared bushwalkers only.

Baal Bone Gap picnic area is suitable for high clearance 4WD vehicles only. There are large ruts and washed out sections in Ben Bullen State Forest that are not suitable for low clearance vehicles. 

Grade: C/C+
Bring: Water, wood, sunscreen, and sun protection
Standard 4WD vehicles suitable.
Recovery gear may be needed if wet or for some sections on the trail or offshoots for the more adventurous.
Aim is to do two half day trip excursions exploring the area. Saturday trip to be determined – may even do an afternoon and into the twilight tour. Baal Bone on Sunday to have lunch at the picnic area.

See you on the tracks
