Sydney Travel Blog: Part 11 – Blue Mountains’ Stunning Natural Beauty
It took only a few minutes for the tour bus to drop us off at Echo Point Lookout. This is a nice facility with lots of restaurants, cafes, and gift shops.
Echo Point Lookout gives you the opportunity the see the Three Sisters from a very close distance. Echo Point Lookout, on the edge of its plateau, also provides great views of the Ruined Castle, Mount Solitary, and a greater panoramic view of the Jamison Valley.
There are many other experiences Echo Point Lookout leads to. The Three Sisters walk, Prince Henry Cliff walk, the Giant Stairway leading to the tracks below the cliff, and many scenic lookouts. The Giant Stairway has 1000 challenging stairs that take you to the valley floor below.
I took lots of pictures and video clips from different sections of Echo Point Lookout. The spot on the edge of the cliff that offers the clearest and closest view of the Three Sisters was crowded by tourists taking photos, so I had to wait to reach the edge. Once I looked at those pictures later on, I was telling myself that the wait was worth it.
I didn’t take the stairs or any other trails due to my limited time. I had a few minutes left over and I decided to browse the giftshop. I bought some tiny gift items at the shop.
After we were done at Echo Point Lookout, we headed back to Sydney. The last stop on the itinerary was Featherdale Wildlife Park in Sydney.
