Trail reviews for Table Mountain National Park
The trail is hard work but lots of fun. It’s super steep so is a proper glute workout and you’ll find yourself pulling yourself up for quite a bit of the trail. It’s beautiful and a great option for getting to the top of Table Mountain. My dogs get nervous with the edges on kasteelspoort so this trail is a real win in terms of getting them up a route they enjoy.
We started at Platteklip Gorge and connected to the contour path and up to devils peak. That way you run into this beautiful waterfall! Loved seeing table mountain from the top and the city :)
Lovely trail with a bit is scrambling at two points. Good for an agile, light dog - otherwise it would be a challenge. Good grippy shoes are needed for the hike down due to loose rocks. Incredible views from the top- rival the top of Table Mountain, for sure
Walked on pipetrack, then up with Diagonal. At first it similar to Platteklip Gorge, with less comfortable steps and more gravel. Then it becomes very steep, with rock scrambling. When you reach the top, the climbing is not over. You hike over Blinkwater Peak and then up Table Mountain to where Platteklip starts. Then onwards to Upper Cable Car. Proper trail shoes are essential!
Wonderful trail up to table mountain. Tough in the beginning but gets easier as you go and the views are incredible the entire hike. I recommend taking a small detour to see the diving board rock for pictures. Hike on!
