Karijini National Park contains some of the most ancient and spectacular gorges on Earth, with banded iron formations dating back 2.5 billion years. Deep narrow chasms reveal layers of red, purple, and ochre rock, while hidden pools and waterfalls wait at the bottom. Dales Gorge, Hancock Gorge, and Weano Gorge each offer unique adventures.
Know before you go
Some gorge descents involve scrambling, wading, and swimming through cold water. Class 5-6 gorges require high fitness. Remote location—carry supplies and fuel.
