While the Blue Mountains region outside of Sydney is filled with breathtaking scenery, most visitors will go straight to the famous Three Sisters outlook or elect the on rails experience of the "Scenic World" tour. However, if you are willing to venture off the beaten path just a bit, you can be rewarded with incredible viewpoints like this one where I was lucky enough to capture an incredible sunset in a location all to myself! Make sure you find your hidden gem next time you make a visit! #Trovember
