Walk through the Kings Canyon in Australia

• Walk through the Kings Canyon in Australia

Kings Canyon in Central Australia - a relatively new tourist route. Locals there is practically no, and normal road appeared only 20 years ago. The canyon walls rise up to 300 meters, and form a veritable maze of rock through which passes several hiking trails.

However, before you embark on any of the tracks, it is necessary to overcome the steep climb. Local Aborigines call it Heartbreak Hill, and the development of tourism, he received a new name - the Hill of a heart attack ...

As the Canyon is located more than 300 kilometers from Uluru (where we settled), the trip had gone all day. We left at 4 am and went for a long time on the bus: the first stop happened in some ranch at 7 am, where we stopped for breakfast:

A walk through the canyon provides two variants - light version of half a kilometer, and hard, 6 km. We went to the second, since so many have passed:

Our group was very mixed bunch. There was a man who took a hike not a backpack and briefcase. Great original, probably. And I dragged him all the way, never revealing:

The first phase of walking - the rise of the famous hill the stairs. We climbed with great effort, but fortunately, no attacks:

Here is shown the formation of the canyon: first, a crack in the rock, which eventually grows to an enormous size. Theoretically, through all these huge gorge could jump at the beginning of their origin:

The stone that was once a seabed. The water dried up, rock rose and turned to stone. Guides is being touted as a "tan-long 2 million years":

Midway had to climb through a small gorge. Everything is made very convenient: the descent and ascent of the ladder:

Downstairs offers two options: either to go further along the route, or to turn and walk to a certain Eden Lake. Guides as advertised, this body of water, we, of course, went:

So imagine Eden Lake. I have seen and better:

As with the Uluru here a long time there was no rain and the water level fell seriously:

They returned back to the route. By this time, the temperature has risen already to 38 degrees:

Again embarked on the route:

Gone Eden Lake from above. Guides, meanwhile, led another group:

The canyon walls as if cut with a knife:

Oh, quadrocopter me there is not enough:

At the bottom of the rocks lying around the wreckage:

Animals, which can be found in Kings Canyon. We were not lucky, we only saw one fly:

Many of stone "mud pies" merge into a large valley:

The guide pointed out a prehistoric fern:

Go back to the original:

After strolling a few hours, returning to base. On the way, they slowed down at a huge salt lake:

Table Mountain near Uluru. Earlier this mountain you can climb, while the owner of these places did not close the passage. The reason for the sanctions was the prank of an unknown traveler, who desecrated the grave on top of the mountain, on the right a great need right on the place of burial of the owner's wife:
