Bedste tid at besøge
Visit between November and March when temperatures are mild, and arrive at least 2 hours before sunset for the best light and golden hour photography.
Budgettips
Entry is free, but a 4x4 vehicle is essential for the unpaved desert road. Bring all your own food and water since there are no shops or cafes within 30 kilometers.

Om
Hurtige fakta: Disse klipper falder over 300 meter ned på en gammel havbund, der tørrede ud for millioner af år siden. Fossiler af havdyr som ammonitter og koraller er spredt ud over landskabet, bevis på det vand, der engang dækkede hele denne region.
Højdepunkter: Ved solnedgang skaber klippekanten en dramatisk optisk illusion: horisonten bag afgrunden smelter perfekt sammen med den flade dal nedenfor, så jorden ser ud som om den bogstaveligt talt ender ved dine fødder. Morgenlyset maler kalkstensklipperne i dybe amber- og rosaguld-farver, der skifter hvert par minutter.
Insidertips
- Download offline maps on your GPS app before driving out, as phone signal disappears completely beyond the last paved road.
- Wear sturdy hiking shoes and long pants to scramble along the cliff line safely and protect against thorny desert shrubs.
- Pack wind layers even in warm months, as the exposed plateau gets extremely gusty and much cooler near the edge.
- Camp overnight for a stunning starry sky and sunrise views without the daytime crowds that arrive around 10 AM.
