Kings Canyon to Alice Springs
You'll wake early to climb up the rocky path to the canyon rim for sunrise views of Watarrka National Park. The full rim walk follows lookout points and takes around 3 hours total, so be ready for rocky and steep terrain. If that sounds like too much, there's an easier shorter walk down to the canyon floor instead. Afterward you board the coach to Alice Springs, and the route includes a stop at Erldunda Roadhouse along the Stuart Highway for a break (72°F/22°C).
