Best Hiking Trails in Western Australia
Hiking trails in WA offer an exploration into a diverse array of inland and coastal landscapes which boast panoramic views and stunning swimming opportunities. Often situated in national parks and inhabited by native flora and fauna, WA walking trails are lined by striking trees and present the potential to see local animal and bird species. In Karijini National Park, the Dales Gorge walk in WA features the iconic red Australian outback with natural swimming pools and deep gorges. On the coastline, the Lurujarri Dreaming Trail invites the participant to walk along the beaches north of Broome and learn about the culture and laws of the Goolarabooloo people. These hiking trails exemplify a few of the best walks in WA and demonstrate the potential of variation in the location, time and difficulty of hikes in WA.
