It is quite steep, but not a long walk. The very last section needs a little bit of rock climbing ability, but if you dont want to go the extra, there are still fine views across two valleys, and you can see the vast north/south stretch of the Flinders. Three 60+ males of reasonable health made it easily enough. Highlight was seeing a youngish monitor lizard , about 80cm long with very distinctive leg and neck markings, and a banded tail finishing in a pale orange. It was in a low tree and only about 3 metres away. Also recommend Dutchman's Stern and Mt Brown walks in the Quorn area

The walking trail is 7.5 km, a return route and it is located within the Ikara-Flinders Ranges National Park It is this peaceful and scenic gum-lined gorge. You get to see interesting rugged rock formations. Early morning and evening kangaroos and birds.

Beautiful place to free camp or park your van, and the hiking trail was very well marked. An easy, but long hike. Views at the entrance to the gorge were the best, everything after was loke an anti-climax.

This was my second trip to the Flinders and to Sacred Canyon, my first during the rainy season when the gorges were still with water, (beautiful!) and my second this November during a dry spell. This time there were far fewer people, and at one point my partner and I were the only ones in the canyon. Amazing the experience of hearing the wind whistle through the rocks, to hear the buzzing of the wasps and flies in the waterholes, the bird calls—wow. Do try to go when there are fewer people around and walk it quietly, without conversation so that you too can experience the fullness of this place and perhaps catch a rare look at some incredible wildlife. How delighted we were to catch a glimpse of a Yellow-Footed Rock Wallaby, and far more wildlife than on our first visit (September last year) when there were more tourists to scare wildlife away. If you climb any of the rocks up the sides of the canyon, watch for snakes (abundant), and be very careful not to disturb any of the flora you find. On second thought, refrain from climbing other than through the gorge trail. The aboriginal markings unfortunately have been marred and disturbed by tourists who have desecrated the sanctity of the area by scratching in their own hieroglyphics in unfortunate attempts perhaps to fool others. Shameful. There is plenty of parking and also new toilets installed. Be sure to read the signage before you enter the canyon to help you identify the meaning of the aboriginal inscriptions and also learn more about the flora you will find.
