The West MacDonnell Ranges are like a necklace strung with jewels of prime wildlife watching spots. Many of the turn offs have dedicated camping areas, like Serpentine Gorge, but all get better the further you walk from the road. Serpentine Gorge does not always hold a lot of water, but after decent rain it is transformed and becomes a beacon for wildlife.
