Jamison Valley is a sprawling valley system within the Blue Mountains National Park, renowned for its dramatic cliffs, deep gorges, and extensive network of walking tracks. Visitors can take in sweeping views from lookouts like Echo Point (famous for the Three Sisters) or descend into the valley on trails such as the Giant Stairway and the Federal Pass. The valley floor features lush temperate rainforest, creeks, and historic sites like the Ruined Castle rock formation. Hiking here rewards with encounters with native wildlife, including lyrebirds and wallabies, and a profound sense of immersion in ancient landscape.

Don't miss

  • Walk the Giant Stairway and Federal Pass to descend into the valley and explore the rainforest.
  • View the Three Sisters from Echo Point Lookout at sunrise or sunset.
  • Hike to the Ruined Castle for a challenging full-day trek with panoramic summit views.
