Echo Point Lookout (Three Sisters)

Following an invigorating trundle along the Prince Henry Cliff Walk, we found ourselves at the Echo Point Lookout. We were dropped off by the Blue Mountains Explorer Bus at Stop 9, then walked through to Echo Point. The walking trail was easy to navigate and could be completed at a leisurely pace. The scenic lookouts along the way of the Blue Mountains were well maintained and safe. Brilliant views of the mountains and valleys were had. Once at Echo Point, the crowds were evident, but not burdensome. The view of the The Sisters was spectacular. If one is able and fit enough, it is well worth the effort. Set aside a day of your holiday for this adventure walk.

Beautiful view to start the hike/walk. The hiking was nice, safe (i.e. paved) trails, majestic plantation. I went once in summer, once in winter...winter can get cold so bring a winter hat. Walk to Echo point is about 30 minutes from Katoomb station, and ther is a gradual incline, so if you have bad knees, take the public bus (it's clean, cheap, and efficient). Worth the train ride from Sydney)!

A soul-stirring experience at Echo Point! Echo Point is simply breathtaking — and if you venture just a little away from the main lookout, it becomes magical. To the left, the Three Sisters Walk offers close-up views of these majestic rock formations and the endless blue horizon. To the right, the Lady Darley Viewpoint trail rewards you with peaceful, panoramic views — far from the crowds, where you can truly feel the stillness and grandeur of nature. It’s a place that humbles and uplifts at the same time. Take your time, breathe in the mountain air, and let the view remind you just how magnificent Allah’s creation is. 🌄✨

Echo Point Lookout is absolutely stunning! The view of the Three Sisters and the surrounding Blue Mountains is breathtaking — especially when the mist rolls in. The weather was cool and refreshing when I visited, which made the experience even better. It’s a great spot to take photos, breathe in the mountain air, and just enjoy the view. There are also cafes and souvenir shops nearby. Definitely a must-visit in the Blue Mountains! 🌿⛰️💙

First Impressions & Scenery Echo Point is one of those places that really lives up to the hype. From the lookout you get jaw-dropping views of the Three Sisters — three sandstone rock formations rising from the cliffs, set against the vast sweep of the Jamison Valley. Especially at sunrise or sunset, the light plays beautifully on the cliffs and valley, giving dramatic hues. On clear days the panorama is exceptional. --- Accessibility & Amenities The lookout is very accessible. It’s easy to get to by car or public transport (train + bus from Katoomba) without needing a big hike just to see the view. There are good visitor facilities: an information centre, restrooms, cafés/snacks near the site. There are multiple platforms and viewing points at different levels, so even if one spot is crowded, you can often find a slightly quieter vantage. --- The Walks & Related Experiences If you’ve got time, there are several walks starting or connecting through Echo Point: The Three Sisters Walk: relatively short, family‐friendly, gives a closer perspective of the rock formation. Prince Henry Cliff Walk: more extensive, scenic, passes many lookouts. Giant Stairway: more strenuous, descending into the valley (and rising back). Good for more energetic visitors. --- What’s Great Iconic views — this place is one of Australia’s classic outlooks. If you're visiting the Blue Mountains, this is sort of “must-see.” Very manageable — you don’t have to be super fit to enjoy big parts of it. Great for casual visitors, families, day-trippers. Good infrastructure — viewing platforms, visitor centre etc make it comfortable. Atmosphere — when it’s clear, and especially early morning or later afternoon, the sense of scale, mist, light, the eucalyptus forest below, the vast valley — it all works together.

This location is incredibly easy to access and very walkable, offering stunning panoramic views in every direction. There are two levels that provide perfect vantage points for taking incredible photos. The area is well maintained, with clean and easily accessible restrooms conveniently located on-site, making it comfortable for visitors of all ages.

Echo Point Lookout is one of the most stunning spots I’ve ever visited in the Blue Mountains. The view of the famous Three Sisters is absolutely breathtaking — especially on a clear day when the mountains stretch endlessly into the distance. It’s a peaceful place where you can really feel close to nature. The lookout area is clean and well maintained, with plenty of space to take photos. There are also walking tracks nearby if you want to explore more of the area. Parking can be a bit tricky on busy weekends, but it’s worth the visit. Overall, Echo Point is a must-see if you’re in Katoomba — perfect for tourists, families, or anyone who loves beautiful scenery.

Terrific lookout point. Fantastic for the avid hiker. The walk is long. Their recommend 45 minutes, but we walked end to in around 40. Then back in 20. Recommended for a family outing but be very cautious. Some of the ledges have no railing.
