Hotels in Blue Mountains, Australia

Hotels in Blue Mountains, Australia
Just 40 miles north of Sydney are the foothills of the Blue Mountains, the sandstone tableland that rises over 12,000 feet. This area is traversed by valleys, waterfalls, and caves. The name comes from the blue-grey mist expelled by the eucalyptus forrest. Blue Mountains National Park has a lot to offer hikers, walkers and spelunkers. Once you've sufficiently explored the area, choose from numerous hotels in the area for some much-needed rest and relaxation.
