Tips

March 22, 2026

Oreades Lookout is a quieter viewpoint just off Echo Point, looking out over the Jamison Valley and across to the Three Sisters. It’s also where you can access the Giant Stairway, which descends steeply down into the valley from this section of the escarpment. The lookout is reached via short, well-marked tracks with a mix of paved and uneven surfaces. Stay behind barriers, as the cliffs here are steep and exposed.
