Alligator Gorge

A dramatic narrow gorge with towering red quartzite walls in the southern Flinders Ranges near Mount Remarkable. The gorge floor reveals layers of geological history spanning hundreds of millions of years. In spring the surrounding bushland erupts with wildflowers adding colour to the rugged landscape. The ring walk descends into the gorge on well-maintained steps before following the creek bed between the towering walls.

Steps into the gorge are steep. Flash flooding is possible after rain so do not enter in wet weather. The gorge floor involves rock-hopping. Carry water as there is none available on the trail.
