Evans Lookout Road, Blackheath

Located at the end of Evans Lookout Road, this iconic vantage point offers one of the most dramatic panoramas in the Blue Mountains. Named in 1882 after local solicitor George Evans, the lookout provides a sweeping view across the vast Grose Valley, where sheer sandstone walls plummet into a sea of eucalyptus.

It’s particularly popular at sunset, when the western light hits the eastern cliffs, turning the escarpment vibrant, glowing orange.

Evans is the starting point for the iconic Grand Canyon Track and the scenic Cliff Top Track to Govetts Leap.
