Baruwei Lookout
A short hiking trail beside the visitor centre, offering a classic view over the first gorge and the Katherine River bends without taking a boat.
A round-trip walk of about 1.8 km from the Nitmiluk Visitor Centre, including a steep stretch of stone steps. It takes about an hour and is the easiest way to see the first gorge and the full panorama of the river bends without taking a boat. Light is best at dawn and sunset, when the sandstone glows orange-red. Free, but there is no shade. Summers are extremely hot, so bring plenty of water and avoid midday.
