Rocky Bar Gap
The trail to Rocky Bar Gap, along Section 11 of the Larapinta Trail, descends from Hilltop Lookout on the northern side then winds across low spinifex hills and mulga woodland before arriving at this shady location. The trail passes south through Rocky Bar Gap before heading west along the foot of Mt Sonder. At various points along the way you may see the distinctive knobbly black rock, this rock is part of a fossil soil, the remains of an iron oxide capping formed on the land surface millions of year ago when the climate in this area was tropical. Approximately five kilometres from Rocky Bar Gap, the trail passes through relatively dense mulga and mallee vegetation and as you exit the woodlands, you can look over the tree tops to the north-east and see how the woodlands extends for some distance up the slope of Mt Sonder.
Camping is permitted, but there is no vehicle access to this site.
Section 11 of the Larapinta Trail is graded as hard - a rough and narrow track with some steep and/or long climbs and descents, suitable for fit people with previous bushwalking experience.
