A short side track off the Step Track brings you out to this rocky lookout above the Lane Cove valley. The view is more about layers of bushland than a big open panorama, with eucalypts filling the slopes below and the valley dropping away through the trees. It’s only a quick detour from the main track, so it’s well worth following the Scenic Views sign when you reach the junction.
