Arkaba guests can embark on a rewarding 8km return walk through the natural gateway of Wilpena Pound. Following Wilpena Creek from the Ikara–Flinders Ranges Visitor Centre, this trail winds through the stunning pound gap to the historic Hills Homestead. Along the way, learn about the area’s geological and pastoral history, and keep an eye out for the elusive Yellow-footed Rock-wallaby.

For those who climb to Wangara Lookout, panoramic views of Wilpena’s remarkable amphitheatre await — a spectacular payoff to a memorable walk in the heart of the National Park.
