What a busy day in the West Macdonnell Ranges - here's a quick highlight reel! Standley Chasm, Serpentine Gorge, Ochre Pits, Glen Helen Gorge & Ellery Creek.

I know I've been very quiet here at instagram🤫 I been working a lot and only been focusing at work. After 3 months working at the hotel we are continuing our journey! Thanks Spinifex and the staff that became very good friends!🥰

Standley Chasm… 🧡 This place is only 40 minutes from Alice Springs. It’s full of history and culture just waiting to be explored. Let us know if you can see vouldamort face in the rocks? 😱. We spotted it when we were walking to the chasm. The best time to see the 80 metre gorge walls shine is during midday, it’s when you see the orange and red colour pop ✨

If you're travelling through the #WestMacDonnellRanges, don't forget to make a stop at Standley Chasm, where the rock looks like it's been split by a giant pick-axe! ⛏ A relatively short and easy drive from #AliceSprings, the chasm cuts through the tough quartzite to form a natural alleyway. It was created by surging flood waters over thousands of years and is an important cultural site for Western Arrernte women. If you're keen to learn more, you can join a half day tour with @angkerlestandleychasm that includes authentic cross-cultural presentations, bush tucker and art workshops. Our tip: visit at noon when the sun is right over head - this is when the chasm really lights up! Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @manirak. ​#SeeAustralia #RedCentreNT

The MacDonnell Ranges in the #NorthernTerritory are a must-see! 😍 Easily accessed from Alice Springs, each of the West MacDonnell chasms and gorges has its own unique character and scenery. ⁠Here are four ways to make the most of your trip to the area:⁠ ⁠ ↠ Head to #StandleyChasm at midday when the rocks light up in fiery colours for the best photos. exploreshaw captured the scene in the most beautiful light! ⁠ ⁠ ↠ Drive or jump on a bike and ride along the 17-kilometre cycle path to Simpsons Gap, see the permanent waterhole and spot rock wallabies that live in the Gap's rocky ridges.⁠ ⁠ ↠ Find refreshing relief from the heat of the day at the picturesque swimming holes in Ellery Creek Big Hole, Ormiston Gorge, Glen Helen Gorge and Redbank Gorge.⁠ ⁠ ↠ Trek the Larapinta Trail, which stretches more than 223 kilometres from the Alice Springs Telegraph Station to Mount Sonder.⁠ ⁠ 📖 Are you planning a trip to the #RedCentreNT?

Only 30 minutes' drive west of #AliceSprings and nestled in the West MacDonnell Ranges, Standley Chasm was formed by floods over millions of years and is an important cultural site for Western Arrernte women. The easy 20 minute walk to the chasm takes you through a lush gully, dotted with ancient ferns and cycads that have survived in the shadow of the arid hills from a long-gone wetter age. While the Chasm is worthy of a visit at anytime of day, it looks most dramatic an hour either side of noon on a sunny day. This is the time of day when the light enters the chasm and the sheer walls glow from reflected sunlight. There's a café near the car park at @angkerlestandleychasm where you can grab a coffee and a bite to eat upon your return.
