Evans Lookout

Nature's beauty! It's a small walk from the parking, very quiet place, well maintained. Greenery is all over, very nice! Not too busy. A unique rock structures that resembles USA's Grand Canyon in miniature.

Evans Lookout offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Grose Valley, with visitors praising its stunning cliff-top vistas and serene atmosphere, though the area can get busy. It serves as a popular starting point for challenging valley hikes, including the famous Grand Canyon walk, which is known for its numerous steps and changing scenery. The lookout is easily accessible from Blackheath, with a short, well-maintained path from a small car park leading to the primary viewing platform.

I visited this place on a sunny afternoon, just as the sunlight reached halfway down the valley. The air was cool and refreshing, and the trees were lush and green. There were long walking trails perfect for exploring, and plenty of parking spaces available. Many people had come to enjoy the breathtaking views. I spent an entire day in the Blue Mountains, and it was absolutely worth it — one of the best days I’ve had.

Gorgeous walk and especially when djne on a misty rainy day like when we did it. Takes 3 to 4 hours and can be strenuous in parts with lots of steps. Very green Kush scenery and divine sounds of waterfalls in lots of different places on the 6km ealk

Evans Lookout is one of the most stunning viewpoints in the Blue Mountains. The lookout gives a breathtaking, panoramic view over the Grose Valley, with endless cliffs, dense forest, and shifting light that makes every visit unique. It’s easy to access, with a short walk from the car park, and there are well-marked walking tracks nearby for those who want to explore deeper. Sunrise and sunset are especially magical here, as the valley glows with rich colors. A must-visit spot for anyone who loves nature, photography, or just wants a quiet place to take in the beauty of the mountains.

Beautiful spot, parking lot is fairly small and on a good day a lot of people make it to this lookout and the Grand Canyon Track. It can become very tedious to get out of there. Evan Lookout has disability parking spots. The Grand Canyon loop track takes about 2 hours.

Parking is next to the start of the walk to the lookout. Toilets are also here and were clean. The walk to the lookout is paved and wheelchair friendly. Some of the pathways have rails, and there are also 2 spaces to sit along the walk. It's about a 5 minute walk to the viewing area, which has more seating. Lovely view and well worth the visit.

Beautiful lookout and the start of The Grand Canyon walk. My favourite of all the walks we did in The Blue Mountains NP. Lots of stairs and a good level of fitness recommended. Go clockwise if you want a gentler climb out of the canyon or anticlockwise if your knees don't like going down steep steps. 10/10. 😁

If you've ever wanted to feel just how tiny and blip-like we are as humans, Evans Lookout is probably a good space to begin your dive into admiring natural wonders of the world. Down a winding road that turns off just before the main street of Blackheath you'll find the lookout parking bays. From here the lookout is maybe 300m walking. You can continue on a greater hike but that'll take you 3-4 hours. The view across the valley is sobering, majestic, and, although it seems to simplistic, breathtaking. If you're in the area and doing all the Blue Mountain sight-seeing it's worth adding to your list.

Another stunning lookout point in the Blue Mountains, there is parking & toilets available but enter at your own risk as it is one of those non-flush loo's where everything is collected at the bottom... Ewww! The lookout area has an elevated area where you can sit, pour yourself a tea from your thermos & take in the majestic view. If you walk about 200m down the path on the left it'll open up to another viewing area that is completely unbarricaded where you can sit cautiously on the side of the cliff. Complete bliss!
