KINGS CANYON

       & GLEN HELEN

       Much more than a day trip, Kings Canyon
       is an essential component of any Central
       Australian holiday. Towering 100 metre
       high sandstone walls, palm filled crevices
       and views that stretch far beyond
       the horizon create an awe-inspiring
       amphitheatre just waiting to be explored.
       Set amongst the West MacDonnell
       Ranges, the towering sandstone walls of
       Glen Helen Gorge are a sight to behold
       as they shade the tranquil waterhole. To
       see the gorge framed in the rising morning
       sun, or the soft glow of sunset, makes the
       rugged walk well worth the effort.
