Three Sisters
The Three Sisters is the Blue Mountains' signature rock formation, three sandstone pillars visible from the Echo Point lookout, tied to Aboriginal Dreamtime stories from the local Gundungurra and Darug peoples. It's the single most-visited viewpoint in the Blue Mountains, and while it can be crowded, the formation and the valley views around it are genuinely striking.
For those wanting more than the lookout, the Giant Stairway descends from Echo Point into the valley below the formations, connecting to the Scenic World cable car and railway attractions nearby if you want to make a longer walk of it.
