A walk around the canyon rim


Kings Canyon
Uploaded by ladyhedda.

We spent a night at Kings Canyon (Watarrka National Park). It's a 300km ish detour off the road to Uluru (Ayers Rock) - but well worth the extra hours on the road.
We got up early to avoid the worst of the heat, and headed out for the canyon rim walk. The first part of the walk is the toughest, with a 500 step climb. Once you reach the summit there are breathtaking views of the canyon, which has amazing dome shaped rock formations and sheer walls. The walk itself is only 6km, and we took it slowly - taking photos and trying hard not to get blown over the edge.
