The Ormiston Pound Walk leads bushwalkers deep into the heart of Ormiston Gorge, offering some of the most spectacular views in the West MacDonnell Ranges. The walk is a 6-kilometer loop that starts off at the Ormiston Gorge car park, though the Ormiston Pound, and Ormiston Gorge. The track is well-marked with some steep climbs and uneven rocky footing. Time your loop for the right time of day, as during summer temperatures regularly soar past 40 °C and the track is very sun exposed.
