Uluru
Australia
"The Red Heart of the Australian Outback"
Uluru rises dramatically from the flat desert of the Northern Territory and is sacred to the Anangu people, its traditional owners. The base walk circles the rock past waterholes, rock art, and caves, while ranger and Anangu-led tours share Dreamtime stories. Sunrise and sunset viewing areas show the rock changing color, and the nearby domes of Kata Tjuta offer the Valley of the Winds hike. The Field of Light installation and outback dinners under the stars are unforgettable.
