The Larapinta Trail 2010/11
Alice Springs to Ellery Creek
'The Larapinta Trail is an exciting long distance walking track through the spectacular West MacDonnell National Park, in the heart of Central Australia.'
The Trail runs for 223 kilometres along the backbone of the West MacDonnell Ranges from Alice Springs west to Mt Sonder. It is divided into twelve sections.The steep red slopes of the West MacDonnell Ranges rise dramatically from the Central Australian desert. They typify the rugged landscapes of Central Australia, with the changing hues of its mountain peaks, rolling hills and dry river valleys made famous in the paintings of Albert Namatjira.
It is the grandeur and timeless beauty of these ranges that is the backdrop and setting for the Larapinta Trail. It provides walkers with an unequalled opportunity to experience the ranges’ breathtaking and ancient landscape and take in their special wild and remote places. The Trail crosses a variety of terrain: from high exposed ridge lines with spectacular views, to lush sheltered gorges that are home to many of the arid zone’s rare plants. Each section of the Trail has its own special character and appeal. The Trail also links the National Park’s established visitor attractions, using these as access points where walkers may start or end their adventure.
The Larapinta Trail is proving a great success as both an attraction and an experience for visitors. So much so that it won the 1991 Northern Territory Tourism ‘Brolga Award’ for the most outstanding environmental heritage and cultural tourism attraction.
