West MacDonnell National Park

A quick trip in the hottest part of the day due to the fact we were part of a tour. Spectacular views of the area and the gorge

Buetiful views a adventure waiting to be had its a good thing if your a local in alice you can go out for a day trip or over night enjoy your stay in the nt

Just go here! Absolutely amazing place. While there may not be heaps to do, the views here are absolutely spectacular.

I can't wait to come back here in the future. Simply stunning.

One of the best parks to visit, plenty of gorges, excellent scenic walking paths. Plenty of places for accommodation We spent 5 days not completing all the places. I am coming back to complete the remaining places it is just beautiful and scenic

Beautiful views, have to be fairly fit to do all the individual walks, have to be very fit to do all the walks together starting at the telegraph station if you do the big one, don't go in summer (november-mid March) and take more water than you think you will need, and if possible get someone to meet you at the other end to drive you back

Spectacular! Quite surprising to see so many beautiful landscapes in an arid area. Red sand, blue skies and the wonderful gorges cutting through the mountain range, some containing water which supports the wildlife in the area. Don't hesitate you will be well rewarded.

Beaut place to spend a whole day lots of lovely scenery out the Glen Helen turnoff and do the loop coming back through Hermansburg and see Albert Namajiras house good feed @ Glen Helen.

The West MacDonnell National Park is huge, but most of the tourist interest is centred around the waterholes and gorges. Most of these have picnic areas with gas barbecues, and some of them have inexpensive car camping facilities. I was walking through the National Park on the Larapinta Trail over sixteen days, and found every day to be scenic and fascinating.

Slightly less touristy comparing to Uluru, which means that you will be able to enjoy more the nature by yourself: D

Nice place to visit. Al surroundings are very neat and clean.
It feels quite nice to visit there.

Visited Palm Valley. Definitely 4WD. Lovely drive with little challenges except when we arrived had to park SUV and walk a little.but your vehicle and you might be sturdier and carry on. Though a vehicle pulling a trailer dropped it at same point. Lovely camping ground 4km before Palm Valley. Supplies gas cooking toilets and showers. Ranger living in area available in emergencies.

The West MaDonnell ranges offer so much. They are the perfect location for a swim (in summer) and to hike in winter. There are many place to visit on the way and all of them are different. From Simpsons Gap just 30 min far from town to Redbank Gorge about 2 hours from Alice Springs. The hikes/walks are all different too and you can choose from the easy flat one to the long steep challenging ones. Up to the Larapinta Trail which stretch for about 223km from Alice Springs to Mt Sonder.so much to do and see!

Stunning stunning and more stunning! So much to see and explore along this magnificent range. These are taken from the Mt Sonder Lookout, a few minutes from Glenn Helen Gorge overlooking the Finke River.

Something for everyone. Beautiful scenery, impressive geology, wonderful aboriginal culture, top class for tourists to get a sample of the outback. It leaves you breathless at every stop.

Absolutely amazing places along the way. Ormiston gorge for the pick though.spot on water hole and swim spot

There is just something special about the red centre. This is one of the great gems in the area just 30 mins for Alice. If you only see one natural George id suggest its here. 2wd vehicles have full access with a fully sealed road and carpark. Walking access to the water hole is very easy

So much to discover. Loads of trails, desert "art", but also a lot of garbage and dumping.

Went to Red Bank Gorge. Beautiful place. Not many people, and the canyon is deep and slotty. Be aware of snakes and centipedes in the water though!
