"Escape the Heat at Ormiston Gorge If you find yourself sweating bullets driving or hiking through the MacDonnell Ranges west of Alice Springs, cool down in one of the many rock pools that grace the canyon walls. Ormiston Gorge, which you'll pass before reaching the Glen Helen Homestead, is a picturesque swimming spot set beneath red rocks and ghost gum trees, best enjoyed in the afternoon sun before the cliffs shade the pool."
