Highlights
Mount Sonder is the highest point in the West MacDonnell Ranges and the final stop on the famous Larapinta Trail. Hike to the summit for breathtaking views of the surrounding desert and mountains. Spot birds of prey soaring overhead and desert plants that thrive in this rugged environment.
Fun fact: The summit is 1,380 metres above sea level, and the views from the top are unforgettable!
Adult Supervision RecommendedThe hike is challenging, with steep sections and uneven terrain, so it's best done with an adult if you're new to hiking.
