Federal Pass Walking Track

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Federal Pass Walking Track is a historic and relatively challenging route that follows the base of the Jamison Valley cliffs between Leura and Katoomba, passing under dramatic escarpments and connecting several iconic walking routes. The track winds through cool forest, fern-filled gullies, creek crossings, and waterfall areas, with access to Leura Forest, the Giant Stairway, Scenic World, and routes toward Ruined Castle. The towering sandstone cliffs combined with the lush valley vegetation, and changing views of the escarpment create an ideal immersive walk that contrasts with the busy exposed lookouts high above you.

Recently, at the beginning of August 2025, a huge landslide happened overnight, destroying two climbing routes: Big Loose Corner and Carnivore. Here you can see the lighter colored stone where 200,000 cubic meters of rock slid loose.
