Walks, Talks and Trails

Ranger Guided Walks and Talks
The Territory Parks Alive program offers free walks and talks from May to September each year. Activities range from Campfire Talks to Guided Walks and Slideshows. The 2011 Territory Parks Alive brochures are now available on this website.

Short Walks
Territory parks and reserves are designed with walkers in mind, so there are lots of short walks to enjoy. See our short walks in Litchfield National Park, Trephina Gorge Nature Park and Watarrka National Park.

Hiking Trails and Bushwalking Tracks
Some parks have hiking trails (or bushwalking tracks) within them suitable for groups of keen, experienced bushwalkers. See our walks in the Nitmuluk (Katherine Gorge) National Park, Watarrka National Park, West MacDonnell National Park (including the Larapinta Trail), Ormiston Gorge and Pound, and Litchfield National Park.

 

Australian Walking Track Grading System

The Parks and Wildlife Service (NT) has adopted the Australian Walking Track Grading System to support consistency in walks across Australia. These gradings will be introduced into our signage and publications.

The table below explains the new grades. Information will still include the simple explanations of Easy, Moderate and Difficult.

Please ensure you are well prepared for your walk by checking the things to know before you go.
