Fifty kilometres west of Alice Springs is the spectacular Standley Chasm which is owned and run by the nearby community of Iwupataka. This narrow corridor slices neatly through the rocky range and in places the smooth walls rise to 80m. The rocky path into the gorge (20 minutes, 1.2km) follows a creek bed lined with ghost gums and cycads. There's a kiosk, picnic facilities and toilets near the car park.
