Located near Katoomba, this easy, family-friendly walk takes you to several lookout points, with Echo Point providing the most stunning panoramic view of the majestic sandstone pillars and the expansive Jamison Valley below.

The Three Sisters is a famous rock formation located in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales, Australia, near the town of Katoomba. Comprising three distinct spires, the formation is steeped in Aboriginal legend, which tells the story of three sisters who were transformed into stone to protect them from a tribal conflict. Standing majestically above the Jamison Valley, the Three Sisters offer breathtaking panoramic views and are accessible via numerous walking trails and lookout points. The area is a popular destination for tourists and hikers alike, who come to admire the stunning landscapes, rich biodiversity, and vibrant wildflowers that bloom throughout the year, making it a quintessential highlight of the Blue Mountains National Park.

Lovely walk around the area, lots of extensive trails of different levels. The lookout was nice but strong fog during the winter, if lifted a little but kept coming back too. Awesome scenery and can see super far when it's clear

Beautiful place to visit on a sunny day - if you are fit enough, walk down the street from Katoomba station to see the colourful flowers down the road and reach the 3 sisters. Stunning views of the Blue mountains await for you and trust me you won’t be disappointed

if you havent been a while you should visit again. the lookout has been upgraded, with a big promenade type platform. its very spacious, there were a few tourists but not overcrowded, surprising for a nice balmy sunday arvo, the king n queen were in sydney i think.
As always the fresh mountain air and the blue of the air fromthe eucalypt oils impressed the kids and so did echo points ubiquitous cooeeing. there are new tracks with little silver blue tongues, cicadas etc and the kids were fascinated by the different layers of rock and sediment along the tracks, sandstone rock, sandy sediment layers and crooked rocks and steel like rocks and bubbly rocks and holey rocks 🙂 they wanted to do the big staircase. a sign says echo point was updated in 2019/2020 (over or before covid times?).
although my message to Blue mountains council is the toilets have to be cleaned regularly, and perhaps in daylight saving time the information centre could open longer until maybe 6pm. it could be played by ear, cos the place was full of tourists wanting info and my 8yo wanted to get info about the mythology of the 3 sisters straight from the kiosk instead of the internet.
The last time i visted was 2014, there is a nice little pub down there now with live music and a cafeteria foid court type setting with cafes, like in a shopping centre. we had lunch at katoomba RSL, nice place nice lunch, friendly concierge.

Nice short walk that can lead to a much much longer hike. Including Giant Stairs (900 steps each way.)

Gorgeous views.

Can get very busy on a sunny weekend.
Parking fees are very steep close to 3 sisters walk.
