In my opinion this is probably the best "introductory" hike in Cape Town. It is relatively easy, with no scary drops or anything like that. The best thing about it is that you corkscrew up the mountain so get fantastic views of Camps Bay and the Twelve Apostles, Sea Point and the Waterfront and the City Bowl and Table Mountain. more
