Kings Canyon Rim Walk

Kings Canyon Rim Walk delivers the Red Centre's most dramatic cliff-top vistas on a six-kilometre loop that climbs 100 metres in the first 20 minutes, with 95% of hikers rating it 4.8 out of 5 on AllTrails. The track winds along 200-metre-high sandstone walls, offering panoramic views over Watarrka National Park, and includes the Garden of Eden waterhole as a key highlight. It outperforms #8 Flinders Ranges Bushwalking in sheer vertical relief, with twice the elevation change per kilometre, making it a more intense climb. Allow four hours for the full circuit and carry 1.5 litres of water per person, as temperatures regularly exceed 35°C from October to March.
