Walking between the Chilling Range and the Heavitree ranges then crossing the Saddle to be on West side of the Heavitree range walking past limestone and siltstone
I started from Lower Oasis Spring and headed east to Giles Yard Spring. Both springs had trickling water. Heading east again, I passed a creek joining from the north which had a short but interesting gorge. If it's dry, ...
I climbed from south of the Chewings Range to its skyline ridge by means of the spur just west of Giles Yard Spring, and returned by means of a spur closer to Oasis Spring. My aim was to find a way into the upper reac...

I was intending to fully explore Milton Park Gorge then camp for a second night on Ellery Creek, but at dawn I was spooked by a pack of dingoes circling around me. I left for Milton Park Gorge and climbed to the saddl...
Heading across the plain from Canyon of Defiance, you pass through an area known to bushwalkers as The Mini-Pound. It's probably faster to stick to the creeks in this area, even though the direct route across the ridges ...
I took a day pack to explore the tops. 500 metres north of the Larapinta shelter I turned left (northwest) into a tributary, and followed it past some trickling water. I headed up a spur on the right, just before the cre...
With day packs, we climbed the south-west ridge of Peak Alone then descended to its north and returned to camp. With our full packs, we headed south to the range and made our way west to Bent Gorge where we set up camp. ...
The day started with 4WD transport from Alice Springs to Hugh Gorge. We then headed west, checking out S-Bend Gorge then Pyramid Gorge right up to the overhang. There was good water at the first and second clifflines of ...
A grand tour of the various parts of Canyon of Defiance. This time we ascended via Felicitous Gorge, the creek to the east of Defiance Creek. There is a large rock pyramid near the top; pass to the left of it. We didn't ...
Pat's Canyon lies to the west of Canyon of Defiance, and roughly parallel to it, however it is generally at a higher level. It has three reaches. The lower reach is entered directly from the plain (where camping is po...
This section would usually be done in two days, stopping overnight at Portals Gorge. Most of the walking is fairly level and open, but there is one awkward scramble. Most groups take the low-level sidle, but it has one v...
I took the long way around at the beginning because I was following cattle tracks through the mulga scrub. It turned out not to be the best route, so I just trudged westward until I reached Ellery Gap. I headed north ...
[edit: Visiting this canyon has become easier to access since I uploaded this route. In 2020 or 2021, floodwaters rearranged the boulders at the bottom of Meg's Reach such that it is connected to the Main Reach by a slig...
We headed west along the top of the Giles Massif. Taking daypacks, we did a side trip from above into Alexas Reach of the Canyon of Defiance via its east tributary. We explored the whole length of this reach, then climbe...
We followed the plains west from Portals Canyon to reach the Low Point, which is the usual crossing-point of the range. Instead of crossing at the Low Point, we climbed the ridge to the north of Pothole Gorge, that ru...
Head east from Canyon of Defiance over relatively easy ground to the "Low Point" of the Chewings Range, where a crossing may be easily made by ascending a steep gully. Stick to the creekbed or to its left (east) for the ...
From Pyramid Gorge we followed the ridge north across the range, descending into a creek which we followed downstream until we could cross into the headwaters of Mulga Creek, in which we found good water. We left Mulg...
It's straightforward to head east from near the mouth of Serpentine Gorge until you reach Ellery Creek. Along the way are some impressive red rock cliffs on the right (south). Just beyond Ellery Creek is the old aband...
Larapinta Trail Section 4/5 Junction to Hugh Gorge Note at our time of passing, Hugh Gorge was quite full so the only way through was to either swim through with your pack in a bag or on sleeping mat, or if in a group fo...
From our camp at the Canyon of Defiance, we took day packs and climbed up the adjacent ridge into Pats Canyon. This climb was steep and loose, and full of spinifex, and the wind was very strong and gusty, so it was not m...
I made my way across the Alice Valley in very hot weather. When I reached the north end of Serpentine Gorge, I relaxed for a few hours beside the waterhole.
I followed the ridgeline east, then descended where a rockslide had created a pass through the cliff. I wanted to reach the plains via Red Rock Gorge, but couldn't get down a 6 metre chimney so I continued along some ver...
We followed the range west, finding only poor water until we reached Milton Park Gorge where excellent water was trickling. A short distance upstream, through some jungle-like vegetation, is the visually dramatic Rock Fl...
I followed the old road, but it would be quicker to go direct. I entered Diagonal Gorge at what I think is the usual place, then after some exploration climbed up the east bank and made camp on the ridgetop south of Port...
