Description

Explore the majestic beauty of this park. The cool scenic gorges are refuges for plants and animals unique to here.

The Aranda people refer to the West MacDonnell Ranges as Tjoritja (pronounced Choor-it-ja).

In their lore and culture, the landscape was created by ancestral beings during a mythological time, the foundation of their spiritual beliefs and identity.

It's home to threatened species including the central rock-rat and long-tailed dunnart as well as other species like the black-footed rock-wallaby and MacDonnell Ranges cycad.

The park is located west of Alice Springs and stretches 161km.

Some of the sites you shouldn't miss on a journey here include Simpsons Gap, Ochre Pits, Standley Chasm (privately operated) and the permanent waterholes at Ellery Creek Big Hole, Ormiston Gorge and Glen Helen.

This park has sooo much to offer! Being that we were in the desert, I was surprised to find many gorges and waterways to swim in. There are great peaks to climb with amazing views! Very good park to spend several days at.
