Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park is home to Uluru, also referred to as Ayers Rock, a red sandstone monolith located in the heart of Australia's Red Center. The site features great hiking, colorful views and Aboriginal pictographs.

Although many visitors come to Uluru intent on hiking to the top, Uluru is sacred to the Anangu, who request that visitors respect their culture by not climbing the rock. I highly recommend taking the Base Walk around Uluru instead. This gives you the best views of Uluru in a variety of lights and angles and allows you to get close up looks at its impressive pictograph sites.
