Sweeping views over the Glen Innes area is best found at the Glen Innes Highland Skywalk. The lookout platforms and walkway are located above the Australian Standing Stones 
park, with views looking east, south, and west.
The skywalk is broken into three lookouts:
Lookout 1
The first lookout is the only part that can be called a skywalk, with an elevated walkway to the viewing platform. It looks eastward towards the Washpool and Gibraltar Range National Parks, around 65 kilometres along Gwydir Highway. Gibraltar Range National Park is where we found Raspberry Lookout and Mulligans Hut during earlier travels.
Lookout 2
The middle lookout has views towards the south and Stonehenge Reserve. The area is known for its granite tor fields, including Balancing Rock (which for some reason is a green sign now, instead of a brown sign). The Ngarabul word for Glen Innes is Gindaayjin, meaning place of many stones.
Lookout 3
Looking west and north-west, the third lookout has views over the township of Glen Innes and out to the edges of the Maybole Volcano and the Emmavill Volcanics. The volcanic forces created the granite rock landscape, rich with sapphire and gemstone fields. The information panels talk of Emmaville Mining and Historical Museum and the Ottery Arsenic Mine , links to the Celtic mining settlers from Cornwall and Wales.
The skywalk isn’t particularly high above the ground, and it doesn’t take you into the canopy of the trees or forest like most skywalks do. It is located at a high elevation, around 1160 metres above sea level. The altitude can bring snow during the winter and keeps the summer temperatures to an average maximum of 26 degrees centigrade.
We first came here in December 2023, a month before the skywalk was officially opened in January 2024. The brown signs were already in place but the information panels hadn’t yet been installed. I was the only one from our family who went up to the skywalk, opting to walk from the Standing Stones. In 2025, we called in to look at the Standing Stones again and this time, driving to the lookout instead of walking, the rest of the family joined me.
Before the Glen Innes Highlands Skywalk had been built, it was simply known as Martins Lookout, with a sheltered picnic table in some green space before it. The sheltered picnic table is still there, located before reaching the skyway.
