Hike Summary

The challenging Loop Walk in Kalbarri National Park highlights the erosive power of the Murchison River which has carved magnificent gorges to reveal the red and white banded rock. Highlights include the iconic 'Nature’s Window’, a natural rock formation which frames the Murchison valley.

This haRoad, 8 kilometre trail follows the edge of the cliff, with views of the river. From here the trail works its way down to the river bank. Along the river are sandy beaches, river gums and the possibility of swimming. On the other side of the river, some of the cliffs show magnificent shades of red and pink. Before the river bends towaRoads the Indian Ocean, the trial climbs out of the gorge back up to Nature’s Window and back to the Car Park.
