Ormiston Gorge

Ormiston Gorge: Icy Dips, Red Rock Trails & Golden Hour Views

4.7 (476)

Hit Ghost Gum Lookout by 8am for solid photos before the desert heat spikes. The waterhole stays freezing year-round, so prep for a quick, icy plunge rather than an all-day lounge. Skip the full circuit unless you have legit hiking boots; that loose red scree will wreck your ankles. Most people book a West MacDonnell Ranges day trip from Alice Springs to bypass the long, dusty drive. Don't underestimate the dehydration—carry more water than you think.
