The Valley of the Winds walk is 7.4 km long and consists of a single path to the first lookout point. From here, the walk enters further into Kata Tjuta, where a loop trail brings walkers to the second lookout point. The counter-clockwise direction is recommended.

The complete walk to both lookouts takes about three hours, and, although there are two water stations along the route, walkers are advised to carry water with them. In extreme weather conditions, the walk beyond the first lookout may be closed and a sign at the park entrance will advise visitors whether the walk to the second lookout is open.
