Alice Springs Trip Overview
Spend an extended amount of time at one of the most exquisite destinations in the West MacDonnell Ranges.
A day trip from Alice Springs. Easy to Medium walks across semi-arid country. Easy walks – flat, compact dirt paths. Medium walks – dirt paths, sandy creek bed, up/down hill and or scrambling over rocks. Soaring orange cliffs hang high above a once raging watercourse that left behind a lazy waterhole. There are boulders to lie upon like a lazy lizard in the hot sun after a swim (warmer months). Walk, swim, explore nature, relax, contemplate, dream! If inclined, a visit to beautiful Glen Helen on the salty sands of the ancient and wet Finke River, abreast the majestic Mt Sonder is not out of the question. But a 10 minute drive from Ormiston Gorge.
Private, air conditioned transport and a qualified and experienced guide with a passion for the region, Kimberley will share her stories and knowledge on this full day of exploring Central Australia.
