About the Larapinta Trail
The Larapinta Trail is one of Australia's most popular hiking trails, along with the Overland Track and the Cape to Cape Walk. It goes through the mountainous region of the West MacDonnell National Park, starting at Alice Springs and ending at Mount Sonder - one of the highest peaks in the region. It's just over 200 km long, but can also be hiked in sections, which can easily be accessed by 4x4s. The Larapinta Trail offers excellent views of arid lands - dry hills, interesting rock formations, dry woods, and steep canyons, which explains why it's often recommended as one of the best long-distance hikes in not only Australia but the world as well.
