Rileys Mountain Track

Rileys Mountain Lookout is the highest of a series of lookouts in Mulgoa (the most eastern section of the Blue Mountains) which overlook the Nepean River. The lookout point is named after Riley Halls, who was a young boy tragically killed by a falling tree in 1977. The lookout was subsequently named in his honour. Elaine said: "We explored the Riley’s Mountain Track to Nepean Narrows Lookout, on the Mulgoa side of the Blue Mountains National Park this week. It lies east of the Nepean River, with amazing views of the river and the national park from the lookouts! When we arrived, there were clouds over the valley and the Nepean River, which looked absolutely magical! The sun rays were incredible through the mist!" The route is mainly along fire trails. The highlights are the beautiful scenery and panoramic views of the Napean Gorge and River from the lookouts along the way. The full length is about 12km.
