MacDonnell National Park

By @souls2travel_

We spent a few days exploring the MacDonnell Ranges and discovered a hidden gem. The region is packed with stunning gorges such as Simpson's Gap, Standley Chasm, and Ormiston Gorge. We even took a dip in Ellery Creek Big Hole, refreshingly cool and exactly what you need on a hot day. I recommend arriving early to beat the heat and make the most of your visit. If you are up for a hike, the views from Mt. Sonder are absolutely worth the effort. Whether you come for a day trip or stay longer, there are plenty of trails, wildlife, and beautiful scenery to keep you busy. Bring plenty of water and do not forget your camera because this is a place you will want to remember.
