Caminata por el borde de Kings Canyon
6km walk along the rim of a 100m-deep sandstone canyon — one of Australia's great walks.
About Kings Canyon Rim Walk
Kings Canyon — a 100m-deep sandstone canyon in Watarrka National Park — is the third great natural wonder of the Red Centre, and the most physically dramatic.
The Rim Walk takes you up the 'Heart Attack Hill' staircase to the canyon edge, then around a 6km loop past the otherworldly weathered domes of the Lost City and down into the Garden of Eden — a hidden waterhole shaded by ancient cycads.

What to See & Do
- Sheer 100m red sandstone canyon walls
- The Lost City — weathered sandstone domes
- Garden of Eden — permanent waterhole and ancient cycads
