  This is simply one of the classic walks in the Blue Mountains! The traverse of Mt Solitary from the Golden Stairs then across the top to the Col and down the other side to the Kedumba River and up to the old Queen Victoria Hospital site is spectacular in the extreme with some wonderful views along the way. All on tracks but some 2 steep climbs involved. Limit: 12. Map: Katoomba, Jamison Best Walk: Mt Solitary Traverse
