Watarrka National Park protects Kings Canyon and a rugged desert landscape between Alice Springs and Uluru. Sheer sandstone walls rise above a surprisingly green canyon floor.
Experiencing Kings Canyon & Watarrka National Park
The Rim Walk is the signature experience for fit travellers, while shorter routes explore the canyon floor. Early starts avoid the strongest heat and reveal the rock at its best.
Planning your stay
Kings Canyon adds geological variety to a Red Centre itinerary and deserves an overnight stay between Uluru and Alice Springs rather than a rushed detour.
