Lockleys Pylon sits on a narrow sandstone outcrop overlooking the Grose Valley, delivering some of the most expansive views in the northern Blue Mountains. From the exposed rock platform, you can see sheer cliffs, forested ridgelines and distant peaks stretching across the horizon. The final approach involves uneven rock and open edges, so take care near drop-offs. It’s a rewarding place to pause, especially on a clear day when visibility extends deep into the surrounding wilderness.
