Hotels near Glen Helen

Ormiston Gorge was a great hike , long but well worth it, you must wade through chest high water to complete the circuit which was freezing in July but only a narrow crossing and as it was a warm day it was fine. We bought food in Alice Springs and cooked our own meals in the camp kitchen as the restaurant had bad reviews for dinner but the buffet breakfast was great. You need a car to get around the area but the resort was well laid out and easy to walk around. Definitely needed full winter clothing for nights but shorts and t-shirts were enough on the warmer afternoons. Strong boots for the walks around the ranges are essential.
