Rainbow Valley Conservation Reserve
This is one of the Territory's lesser known parks, but well worth a visit if you're driving south from Alice Springs. With landscapes reminiscent of Monument Valley, Rainbow Valley Conservation Reserve is at its most magical at sunrise and sunset, when the sandstone rocks glow red and purple. During spring, you may even see some of the wildflowers that are native to the region.
This area is known to the Upper Southern Arrernte people as Wurre and covers significant archaeological evidence of Aboriginal occupation. Camping is permitted and there are signposted walking trails.
