3. Dales Gorge and Fortescue Falls - A Rim walk and an icy plunge
Travel type:
Family with two kids aged 5 and 7. Travelling from Port Hedland.
On Day 2 of our trip - day 1 being well spent in Dales Gorge - we opted to visit Kalamina Gorge which is located in a different section of the park area. The approach is via an unsealed road and is accessible only by 4WD. Being a little more difficult to get to, it gets fewer visitors, which adds to the charm of the location.
Our experience was quite different from the previous day, where we walked along the gorge rim, although it was just as equally enchanting, if not more. On this occasion, we descended into the gorge and followed the bottom trail that meanders dreamily along the creek and the amphitheatre-styled rock ledges, inviting you to explore the further reaches of the hidden sections until you arrive at the spectacular rock arch pool.
The entire walk is past lemon-scented grass and ancient fern trees that add a magical feel to the whole experience; the best part of this trail was the ease with which we could walk along the flat, expansive sections, not worrying about falling into a gaping chasm or sliding down unceremoniously down a craggy ledge. Whilst the descent itself is a bit difficult for kids, and there are a few sections where you have to walk along narrow ledges to traverse the creek, for the larger part, the walk is through wide expansive sections and the kids had a field day exploring independently and walking around freely, chasing dragonflies and skipping pebbles on the water, whilst we were busy soaking in the vistas, and of course, taking heaps of photos oohing and aahing ever so often.
Whilst the walk is just 3.2 kilometres return, we took a good two hours to get to the end, because of the numerous vista-watch stops along the way; although this was around noontime, the cooler temperatures in the gorge and the shade offered by the towering rocky outcrops meant we had a relatively comfortable walk. The walk back (without breaks) took us just half an hour and the kids were pretty much done by then. We take back with us some great memories of this place and can highly recommend Kalamina as a wonderful option for hiking in Karajini.
Tip:
• Follow the coloured dots (my kids call it the egg trail due to the yellow-on-white sunny-side-up design) embedded on the rocks along the trail.
• Turn left and walk to the end of the gorge; at the immediate right is the waterfall section, and although it is beautiful no doubt, it may be difficult to do the trail walk after plunging into the pool in this location.

1. Tom Price Summer Star Resort - 在梦幻般的度假胜地享受舒适的住宿
2. 与孩子们一起进行卡拉吉尼远足探险——与大自然的交流
3. Dales Gorge 和 Fortescue Falls - 边缘漫步和冰瀑
旅行类型：
有两个 5 岁和 7 岁孩子的家庭。从黑德兰港出发。
在我们旅行的第 2 天——第 1 天在 Dales Gorge 度过了愉快的时光——我们选择参观位于公园区域不同区域的 Kalamina Gorge。该方法是通过一条未密封的道路，只能通过四驱车进入。由于更难到达，游客较少，这增加了该地点的魅力。
我们的经历与前一天完全不同，我们沿着峡谷边缘行走，尽管它同样迷人，甚至更多。这一次，我们下到峡谷，沿着小溪和圆形剧场风格的岩石壁架梦幻般蜿蜒的底部小径前行，邀请您探索隐藏部分的更深处，直到您到达壮观的岩石拱形水池。
整个步行经过柠檬香草和古老的蕨类植物，为整个体验增添了神奇的感觉；这条小径最好的部分是我们可以轻松地沿着平坦、广阔的路段行走，而不用担心掉进一个巨大的峡谷或从崎岖的壁架上毫不客气地滑下去。虽然下降本身对孩子们来说有点困难，并且有几个部分您必须沿着狭窄的壁架步行才能穿过小溪，但在很大程度上，步行是通过广阔的部分，孩子们有一个野外探索日独立自由地四处走动，追逐蜻蜓，在水面上跳过鹅卵石，而我们则忙于沉浸在远景中，当然，还经常拍下一堆照片。
虽然步行返回只有 3.2 公里，但我们花了整整两个小时才走到终点，因为沿途有无数的观景站；虽然现在是中午左右，但峡谷中较凉爽的温度和高耸的岩石露头提供的阴影意味着我们的步行相对舒适。走回去（没有休息）只花了我们半个小时，到那时孩子们已经差不多完成了。我们带回了对这个地方的美好回忆，强烈推荐卡拉米纳 (Kalamina) 作为在卡拉吉尼 (Karajini) 远足的绝佳选择。
提示：
• 跟随镶嵌在岩石上的彩色圆点（我的孩子称它为蛋形小径，因为它是黄底白字的正面朝上的设计）。
• 左转走到峡谷尽头；右边是瀑布区，虽然它无疑很美，但在这个位置跳入游泳池后可能很难走步道。
