GPS Tracks
The gentle slope of the track meanders along Kings Creek, ending at a viewing platform, where you experience stunning views of the sheer canyon walls. Take your time to ready the informative signage on the flora and fauna and scan the etched sculptures in the sandstone. Can you spot the pirate's face?
