The Rainbow Valley area features scenic sandstone bluffs and cliffs. These free standing cliffs form part of the James Range, and are particularly stunning in the early morning and late afternoon when the rainbow-like rock bands are highlighted. The coloured rock bands in the sandstone cliffs were caused by water. In earlier, wetter times the red iron of the sandstone layers dissolved and was drawn to the surface during the dry season. The red minerals formed a dark, iron- rich surface layer with the leached white layers below. This dark red capping is hard, and weathers slowly, whereas the softer white sandstone below weathers quickly into loose sand. The reserve is on the traditional lands of the Upper Southern Arrernte people and is known to them as Wurre.

With legendary landscapes, bold colours and wide open spaces, driving is a dream in @visitcentralaus 🚗 Whether you're travelling in a two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive vehicle, the road trip options are endless in the Red Centre. If you're looking to get off the beaten track, a visit to Rainbow Valley Conservation Reserve/Wurre is a must! The turn-off to the Reserve is just 75 kilometres south of #AliceSprings along the Stuart Highway. From there you'll be treated to 22 kilometres of this vibrant winding road! Our top tip? Pack your camping gear and spend a night in the campground - making it even easier to witness sunrise and sunset overlooking the scenic sandstone bluffs and cliffs. ​ ​Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @anyabananyaa. ​#SeeAustralia #RedCentreNT

Journey to Rainbow Valley Conservation Reserve where breathtaking views are around every corner 😍 The @visitcentralaus reserve is on the traditional lands of the Southern Arrernte people and is known as Wurre. Best accessed by a four-wheel drive vehicle, this lesser known geological wonder is particularly stunning in the early morning light or late afternoon when it changes from ochre red to orange and purple. The short walk around the clay pan is well worth doing, especially in wildflower season. If you're keen to stick around and witness sunrise and sunset, there’s a small campground nearby with picnic tables, barbecues and toilets. ​Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @keiranlusk. ​#SeeAustralia #RedCentreNT #HolidayHereThisYear

• Few days ago we talked about Rainbow Valley and I came across this image I never showed here on instagram. It’s such a special place to me and a gem in Australia’s Red Heart. Some places don’t need that special light or dramatic clouds to be amazing and beautiful..., nor do some people. Dedicated to red sand‘s beauty! ---------------------------------- ------------------------------------- Rainbow Valley - Northern Territory - Australia ---------------------------------- ------------------------------------- #australia #visitaustralia #seeaustralia #travelanddestinations #ausgeo #discoverearth #ig_disvocer_australia #aussiephotos #exploringaustralia #takemetoaustralia #australiagram #aussie_images #australia_oz #aussiebucketlist #ozscapers #amazingausnz #tv_australia #NTaustralia #special_shots #outback #alicesprings #redsand #beauty #believeinyou

Alice Springs is the gateway to the Red Centre! 🦘🐫⁠ Flanked by the MacDonnell Ranges, you'll find plenty to do here. Ride a camel, go hot air ballooning, check out the indigenous art & cultural history, take a hike, head to one of the nearby swimming holes or gorges, or travel further afield to Rainbow Valley & Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. Let's go!⁠ #alicesprings #northernterritory #visitnt⁠ ⁠ 📷 : Sam Jackson @ Getty Images

It felt pretty damn good to get our feet back on the red dirt and check out Rainbow Valley. What a spot!! If the rough track getting in doesn’t take your breath away, the scenery sure will!! Next time we will have to be more prepared so we can camp the night at this place, just another reason to go back to the NT 😏 #NTaustralia #rainbowvalley #seeaustralia

When was the last time you got caught out by the weather? We got our first taste of the NT wet-season at Rainbow Valley, when a surprise storm rolled in and covered us with dirt and rain. ⛈⛈ It even rained mud for a while! 😯😯 . . . . . . . . #JustEverydayTravellers #NTAustralia #RedCentreNT #AliceSprings #australiagram_nt #australianoutback #dotheNT #NTlife #tourismNT #outbackNT #NorthernTerritory #NorthernTerritoryAustralia #Arrernte #centralaustralia #travelcouplegoals #fulltimetravel #campinglife #holidayherethisyear #weather #australianholiday #travelcouples #travellingcouple #travellersofinstagram #travellinggram #youmustsee #roadtrip #rainbowvalley #storms #stormseason #wetseason

Aptly named Rainbow Valley is an easy day trip from Alice Springs, and offers spectacular viewing of the the exposed bands of coloured rock in the sandstone bluffs and cliffs, particularly at sunrise or sunset. . Part of the James Range, the reserve is an important site to the southern Arrernte people. The large rock formation known as Ewerre is a registered sacred site. The Park is rich in Aboriginal history especially around the hills and ridges where petroglyphs, (rock carvings) paintings, grinding stones and stone chip tools have been discovered. . It is best accessed via four-wheel drive or tour from Alice Springs. . . Cheers for tagging #ntnow roamingwith_roma ! . #seeaustralia #northernterritory #redcentrent #alicesprings #valley
