The Larapinta Trail - As Told By Cohen Medson

2.5 weeks. 223km. One unforgettable journey in the heart of Australia. 🏜️🥾 Thanks to the Lily and Kiara for putting up with me for the entire Larapinta Trail — crossing rugged ridgelines, ancient gorges, and beautiful landscapes through the West MacDonnell Ranges.
