It will form an extended walking track of approximately 250 lilometres along the backbone of the West McDonnell Ranges. Already recognised for it's significance, the Larapinta Trail won the 1991 Northern Territory Tourism 'Brolga Award' for the most oustanding environmental heritage and cultural tourism attraction. The best way to experience the breath-taking views in the National Park is through walking. Mt. Sonder and the surrounding landscape feature in many of the paintings by the famous Western Arrernte Aboriginal artist, Albert Namatjira.
