View of The Blue Mountains
The Falls and Mountains Im sorry to say this again, but words cannot describe these mountains. The Blue Mountains are so big and reach so far. They are called the Blue Mountains because the rainforrest at the base is full of eucalyptus trees and they let out a blueish haze that fills the air. We hiked all the way down the mountains and into the rainforrest, it was about a three hour hike and despite the muscle soreness it was awesome. There is a particular rock formation in the Blue mountains called the Three Sisters. Their names are Meehni, Wimlah, and Gunnedoo. The Three Sisters are made of sandstone and were formed by erosion. These were definitley the coolest aspect of the Blue Mountains.

The Path that We Hiked Down to go Into the Rainforest
The trail was like this, steeper in some places, all the way down into the rainforest.

A Part of the Trail
This particular part of the trail went underneath a massive piece of rock.

A Waterfall in the Rainforest
This is a waterfall that we passed on our hike through the rainforest beneath the Blue Mountains.

Great Mother's Day gift so far!!!
I really like the Blue Mountains and the rain forest. You don't realize how much land there is on the earth until you start to travel and see all the undeveloped areas that we get our oxygen from. We need them to be nice and healthy.
