Riley's Retreats Guidebook
Sightseeing
You can't visit the Blue Mountains without seeing the infamous Three Sisters. Echo Point Katoomba is the place to get the main view of these girls. There are plenty of walks around the area and some other vantage points to see them front. A local's tip is to take a drive around Cliff Drive and go past the Scenic Railway and continue around and you'll see a lookout on the left and it has a fabulous less crowded view of the three sisters.
