Why
Kings Canyon
is special

Kings Canyon
tips & insights

Kings Canyon Walk

This is the trail and is about 6 kilometers (4 miles) in length. You cross to the other side of the canyon on a foot bridge at the halfway point.

---

Garden of Eden

A must is taking a short detour on the trail to visit the Garden of Eden. It's a secluded micro-climate enclave with a spring-fed waterhole encircled by ferns and other greenery in an otherwise mainly dry Kings Canyon environment. The detour also rewards you with the most magnificent Kings Canyon viewpoint.

---

Get an early start

Because this region of Australia has an intensely hot sun, rangers strongly recommend that you begin your King Canyon Walk in the early morning.

---

Travel clockwise

The rangers also urge you to travel clockwise, partly because you will have more shade from the steadily rising sun during the second half of your trek.
