Can you believe this view? Princes Rock Lookout offers arguably the best vantage point at Wentworth Falls. From here you get incredible views of the valley and Wentworth Falls itself.
Princes Rock Lookout isn’t just a pretty face. It’s a historic spot. People have been enjoying the views from this very spot since the late 1890s. Think of all the stories these rocks could tell. Imagine the picnickers who’ve spread their blankets here over the past hundred years.
Look east. You see Wentworth Falls. It’s the highest waterfall in the Blue Mountains. Look closely. You can even spot people on the walking track below. You can also make out the smaller Queens Cascades. The falls flow all year round but they’re most impressive after heavy rain.
Turn your gaze southwest. That’s Jamison Creek and the Jamison Valley. You see Mount Solitary in the distance. It’s quite a sight. This medium-sloped walk is well worth the effort for the views alone.
Keep an eye out for the old water fountains along the path. They’re a lovely reminder of the lookout’s heritage. They’re charming examples of historic design. The lookout itself has a distinctive parapet style. It’s an elegant frame for the breathtaking views.
Princes Rock Lookout is a short but rewarding walk. It’s about a 1km return trip from the Wentworth Falls Picnic Area. It’s part of a longer 4-5km scenic loop. This loop takes you along the cliff tops. The entire loop offers stunning views of the Blue Mountains.
So take your time. Enjoy the views. Take some photos. Remember this amazing place. Remember your visit to Princes Rock Lookout. The memories will last a lifetime.
