West MacDonnell Ranges

We set out today to check out the West Macdonnell Ranges and plan to stay at Ross River Resort camp site. We stopped at the usual places along the way - Jessies Gap and Emily Gap.
When we got to Ross River Resort we couldn't believe how quiet the place was. The campground is big and there only a half dozen of people camped there.
We set up and then drove back down the highway looking for firewood for the night.
We cooked our dinner on a fantastic fire that night.
Next morning we decided to check out the walk at Trephina Gorge.
The walk starts by climbing up over the gorge cliffs and ends up coming back down onto the river where you walk back along it.
There were small streams of running water in the river which were great for pulling the walking boots off and cooling the feet.
