Day 4 Kings Canyon – Alice Springs Today it’s an early start before the heat becomes unbearable, as you set off on a 3-hour walk along the rim of the impressive Kings Canyon (a good level of fitness is required). After a steep climb, amazing views open up over the canyon and its rock walls. A walk takes you through the beautiful rock formations of the ‘Lost City’ and to the lush vegetation of the ‘Garden of Eden’. If you would rather skip this demanding walk, you can take a leisurely stroll along the base of the canyon instead. Return to Alice Springs (arriving around 19:30).
