Mount Ohlssen Bagge
A half-day hiking trail next to the resort, with a summit that offers views of the basin's outer walls, the resort and distant salt lakes.
The Mount Ohlssen Bagge trail begins at the Wilpena Visitor Centre. The round trip is about 6.4 km and takes about 4 hours. The first half is gentle, while the second half climbs over rocky slopes, gaining about 500 meters in elevation. From the top, the view is wide, taking in the quartzite ridges that wall the basin's eastern side like a fortress and the salt pans of Lake Torrens in the distance. The route is steep and has no shade, so start early and carry plenty of water. It suits visitors with limited time who still want to gain some height.
