Entry is from Larapinta Drive opposite Hermannsberg and is 22KMs in and 22 back. Goes through the Finke River and into what you would swear is hawaii.... Not quite but I can safely say (and we\'d just come from Ayers Rock and the Olgas and after Palm Valley the Kings Canyon) that it is the most beautiful place I\'ve ever seen in my life. Mind you I\'m only 19, heh heh. But yeah man, beautiful, there\'re a few walks you can do, and the best of which are at the end of the track where you actually walk through the valley with red cliffs on either side, palm trees everywhere and streams running through the middle. The 2K walk at this part takes you up one of the cliffs and you can look out over the valley. It\'s picture perfect I tell ya.
Before the end of the track there is camping with full facilities for $6.50 a night. Not my cup of tea for a camping trip but you don\'t have a choice in that area. A little before the camping area are a couple more walks. The longer one (7K) takes you out around the hills and is very bland for a while and leaves you wondering why you bothered, about half way through you slap yourself for thinking such a thing because you get to look out at the whole valley and the view is phenomenal.
