辛普森峡谷是西麦克唐奈尔山脉最著名的峡谷之一。
它距离爱丽丝泉仅18公里，拥有高耸的红色悬崖、常年不涸的水潭，以及观赏野生动物的绝佳机会。
在黎明和黄昏时分，您或许能在通往峡谷的步道上看到黑脚岩袋鼠。该地区生长着典型的麦克唐奈尔山脉植被，包括大片的金合欢树和40多种珍稀孑遗植物。
有多条短途步道，沿途可欣赏到包括古老桉树在内的原生植物，以及山脉的壮丽景色。辛普森峡谷也位于拉拉平塔步道上，这条231公里长的步道贯穿西麦克唐奈尔山脉。从辛普森峡谷出发，您可以选择走完步道的第一段或第二段。
辛普森峡谷（Simpsons Gap）在阿伦特原住民（Arrernte Aboriginal）的传说中被称为伦古吉尔帕（Rungutjirpa），是一群巨蜥祖先的故乡。多条梦境之路和传说在此交汇，构成了这处重要的精神圣地。
前往辛普森峡谷的岔路口位于拉拉平塔大道（Larapinta Drive）上。您也可以沿着辛普森峡谷自行车道骑行17公里（单程）到达峡谷。辛普森峡谷仅允许拉拉平塔步道（Larapinta Trail）的徒步者露营。多日徒步和露营均需付费。多日步道使用和露营地预订必须提前在线完成。
