    About the Trail

    Staying at the stone mountain lodge, this hike is just the thing to do when it is a wind still day and you want to get a bit of exercise before sundown. Pack a few snacks and a sundowner, jump in your 4x4, and drive to the base of Middelkop where the start of the track is marked.

    This is a one-way 800m hike to the top of the second highest peak on Kleinrivier. It is an easy climb with a few steep drop-offs to the side of the track. Once at the top find your own way. Just make sure you do not lose track of time while appreciating the sunset and 360˚ views.

    N.B. You need enough light to locate the same path going down and safely find your footing back to your vehicle.
