Australia's most iconic desert walking experience
The Larapinta Trail is recieving plenty of attention of late.

Australian Geographic claims it is "one of the world's best long-distance arid-zone walks". It is a spectacular Australian desert trek which traverses the ridgelines of the West MacDonnell Ranges from east to west. Situated in Tjoritja, also known as the West MacDonnell National Park, the Larapinta trail includes many sites sacred to the Arrernte Aboriginal people, with highlights along the track including Simpson's Gap, Ormiston Gorge, Ellery Creek Big Hole, Mount Sonder and more.
Situated just out of Alice Springs and spanning 223kms across the West MacDonnell Ranges the trek is divided into 12 different sections that can take between 12-14 days to complete,
