Watarrka National Park, home to Kings Canyon, covers 710sq km and has been home to the Luritja and Arrente peoples for more than 20,000 years. The walls of Kings Canyon are over 100 metres high, with Kings Creek at the bottom. Part of the gorge is a sacred Aboriginal site and visitors are discouraged from leaving the walking tracks. According to geologists, the valley was formed more than 400 million years ago. It cuts through a layer of Mereenie Sandstone, which was deposited here 400 million years ago.
