West MacDonnell Ranges: Desert Gorges, Swimming & Red Earth

Hit Standley Chasm at noon when the sandstone walls glow neon orange. The desert heat is brutal, so head straight to Ellery Creek Big Hole to cool off; the water stays freezing even in summer. If your rental isn't 4WD, book the $142 day trip from Alice Springs to avoid shredding tires on corrugated roads. Give the area two full days to explore. Bring more water than you think you need.
