When you think of the Blue Mountains, you think of deep valleys, high cliffs and amazing views from fantastic lookouts. Naturally, lookouts like\u00a0Echo Point, Govetts Leap, Evans Lookout and Sublime Point all come to mind. We\u2019ll, there are some smaller lookouts in the Blue Mountains that rival the popular ones for their beauty and \u201cwow factor\u201d. While I call these \u201csecret lookouts\u201d they aren\u2019t really<\/strong>, but they are less known and tend to be off the main tourist routes.<\/p>\n

In no particular order, there they are:-<\/p>\n

Olympian Rock – Leura<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.askroz.com.au\/event_detail\/index\/lookout:-olympian-rock<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a small lookout on\u00a0the Prince Henry Cliff Walk that\u00a0is also accessible from Olympian Parade via a short walk. The path is not wheelchair friendly.<\/p>\n

The lookout faces\u00a0south, so the view is best at sunrise and sunset. Having said that, the view is outstanding all day.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Elysian Rock Lookout – Leura<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.askroz.com.au\/event_detail\/index\/elysian-rock-lookout<\/a><\/p>\n

This lookout is also part of the Prince Henry Cliff Walk and is just a short walk from Olympian Rock. The lookout is actually 2 small lookouts separated by Buttenshaw Bridge<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These two lookouts have a real \u201cwow factor\u201d because of their open elevated position that\u00a0offer 180 degree views over the Jamison Valley.<\/p>\n

The path is not wheelchair friendly and access can also be gained via Olympian Parade.<\/p>\n

Spooners Lookout – Katoomba<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.askroz.com.au\/event_detail\/index\/spooners-lookout<\/a><\/p>\n

Spooners Lookout is a small lookout near Echo Point that\u00a0offers visitors great views of the Jamison Valley.<\/p>\n

While this lookout was neglected for many years, it was upgraded in 2014 and is now world standard. This lookout is wheelchair friendly and is accessible from the main Echo Point tourist area.<\/p>\n

Valley View Lookout – Blackheath<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.askroz.com.au\/user_event\/edit_event1\/lookout-valley-view-lookout<\/a><\/p>\n

Valley View Lookout is a short walk from the Evans Lookout carpark. Most visitors to Evans Lookout don\u2019t notice the track to the lookout so they miss out on a fantastic northern view over the Gross Valley.<\/p>\n

Great views all day.\u00a0The path is not wheelchair friendly.<\/p>\n

\"Valley<\/a>

Golf Links Lookout – Leura<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.askroz.com.au\/event_detail\/index\/golf-links-lookout_46374<\/a><\/p>\n

Golf Links Lookout is a small out of the way lookout that looks west over the Jamison Valley. The view is outstanding all day.<\/p>\n

The track is not wheelchair friendly.<\/p>\n

\"Golf<\/a>

Pulpit Rock – Blackheath – CURRENTLY CLOSED<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.askroz.com.au\/event_detail\/index\/lookout-pulpit-rock-blackheath<\/a><\/p>\n

The lookout looks east and offers fantastic views over the Grose Valley. The view from the lookout is unsurpassed and the \u201cvisual wow factor\u201d is off the board.<\/p>\n

If you’ve got something to shout about, then head for Pulpit Rock. Jutting out on a dramatic blade of rock, you might be lost for words or end up singing the praises of the sweeping views of vast forested gorges and magnificent Grose Valley below.<\/p>\n
