Sightseeing
Beautiful views over the Megalong Valley. You can even see the Hydro Majestic and your Airbnb in the distance! The road to the lookout is unsealed, but should be fine for most cars.

One of the best lookouts in the Blue Mountains - especially beautiful at sunrise. I'd recommend parking your car at the Blue Mountains Heritage Centre and taking the short walk to the lookout. There are some picnic facilities at the lookout. You can also continue the walk towards the waterfall.

Evans Lookout
Great outlook over large escarpments and also provides access to the Grand Canyon Walking Track.
One of the most famous hikes in the Blue Mountains and definetly lives up to the hype. You can either start the hike from Evans Lookout or from the Neates Glen Parking Area. I'd recommend leaving your car in the Grand Canyon Carpark (which is roughly halfway between Neates Glen Parking Area and Evans Lookout) and walking to the Neates Glen Parking Area and starting the track from there. That way you'll finish the hike at Evans Lookout and will be rewarded with a great view! Then it'll be a short stroll back to your car. Note that this track does involve alot of stairs. It'll take you around 2-3 hours to complete the track.

Fun short walk that feels like you're walking through a tropical rainforest in the middle of the Blue Mountains!

Amazing cliff face on the edge of Blackheath. Doesn't get too many crowds as not many seem to know about it. Definetely worth a visit.
