The scenery at Blue Mountains is beyond words, whether it's the Three Sisters or along the hiking trails. While it's not exactly paradise on earth, seeing these views really helps you relax.

The Blue Mountains aren't actually blue - they look lush and green. So apart from expecting to see blue skies and white clouds, don't let your imagination run too wild.
