Starting from the southeastern car park at the end of Kings Canyon Access Road, Watarrka NP, this walk gives you a taste of what this place is all about. Kings Canyon South Wall Walk is a shorter and less steep alternative to the full Rim Walk, still providing you with lovely views of the impressive rock formations. The vibrant hues of the rocks and soil are truly awe-inspiring, much better than the photos online when you get to see it with your own eyes. While it doesn't include attractions like the Lost City or the Garden of Eden, the South Wall Walk still provides terrific vistas and allows you to admire the walls of the canyon. Remember that on days with temperatures above 36 degrees Celsius, the walk closes at 11 am, so early starts are necessary. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
