Itinerary
- Day 1
Alice Springs
After picking up your rental car, you'll head into Alice Springs to get a feel for the town. Todd Mall has plenty of souvenir shops and art galleries where Aboriginal handicrafts are on display. The Royal Flying Doctor Service gives you insight into how remote medical care operates out here. Alice Springs Desert Park is worth a couple hours to understand the local ecosystems and wildlife. From Anzac Hill Lookout, the views stretch across the entire region, and timing it for sunrise or sunset really shows off the landscape. Before wrapping up, stop by the Telegraph Station Historical Reserve to learn how early outback communication worked.

Alice Springs to Kings Canyon
You'll drive through the West MacDonnell Ranges and make your first stop at Simpson Gap, a gorge about 18 kilometers out from Alice Springs where the cliffs tower above you and there's usually water in the waterhole year-round. Wildlife hangs around this area too. Head south on the Stuart Highway after that, and the outback landscape keeps changing with colors and textures worth stopping to take in. The afternoon is free for you to pace yourself. Then you've got roughly 470 kilometers to cover getting down to Kings Canyon.

After finishing the hike, you'll drive through red sand dunes and desert landscape heading toward Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. Stop at Mount Conner Lookout for views over Table Mountain and the salt plains stretching out. If you get there with daylight to spare, watching the sunset at Uluru is worth your time.
