The neck separates the Jamison Valley (to the east) from the Megalong Valley (to the west). DescriptionFrom Cliff Drive, Katoomba, the Narrow Neck is accessed via a dirt road called Glenraphael Drive suitable for most two-wheel drive vehicles, subject to good weather conditions, as far as a locked gate. It is a popular walking, bike riding and climbing location and offers several walking descent routes to the adjacent valleys. Beyond the gate is walking/bicycle access only for the general public. One of the most popular walks is the Golden Stairs, a rough descent of approximately {{convert|200|m}} to join the Federal Pass. This opens up the Jamison Valley for popular day walks to sites such as Mount Solitary and the Ruined Castle. The neck juts southwards from Katoomba for a distance of some {{convert|10|km}} and ends at Clear Hill, overlooking the Wild Dog Mountains. Castle Head promontory points towards the Ruined Castle, a small rock formation between Castle Head and Mount Solitary.[1] Arguably one of the best views on the eastern seaboard of NSW is from Narrow Neck Fire Tower.{{citation needed|date=May 2015}} On a day of high visibility it is possible to see from {{NSWcity|Mittagong}} in the south to {{NSWcity|Toronto}} in the north and a number of peak landforms in between. It also has excellent views back towards the escarpment at Katoomba. Missing personA nineteen-year-old British backpacker Jamie Neale was found alive after twelve days lost in the Blue Mountains. Two bushwalkers alerted emergency services who were conducting an extensive search using the Police Rescue Squad, police dogs, State Emergency Service and Rural Fire Service.[2] FaunaUpland swamps on Narrow Neck Plateau have been identified as potential habitats for the rare Blue Mountain Water Skink.[3] Points of Interest
