The Larapinta Trail

Standley Chasm provides direct access to Sections 3 and 4 of the Larapinta Trail, with both trail entry points located within our main gates.

To help make your Larapinta adventure easier, we offer:

  • Drop Box Storage – $5 per box

  • Overnight Parking – $5 per vehicle, per night

  • Camping Facilities for hikers needing a place to rest and recharge

Drop boxes and overnight parking can be arranged through our Café and Gift Shop. Simply speak with our team on arrival, and we'll point you in the right direction.

Please be mindful that Standley Chasm is the only privately owned section of the West MacDonnell Ranges, and we ask all visitors to respect our trading hours and the cultural significance of the site.

Trading Hours

  • Monday to Saturday: 8:00 am – 5:00 pm

  • Sunday: 8:00 am – 2:00 pm

If you require access to the trail, overnight parking, or your drop box outside of these hours, please contact us in advance by texting 0474 112 644 or emailing info@standleychasm.com.au so arrangements can be made where possible.

Whether you're starting a section, finishing a long day's walk, or taking a well-earned rest, Standley Chasm is the perfect place to pause, refuel, and prepare for the next stage of your Larapinta Trail journey.
