South African National Parks (SANParks) has announced that the trail connecting Smuts Track and Echo Valley trail in the Northern Section of Table Mountain National Park in Cape Town is temporarily closed until further notice. This is due to the recent fires in Table Mountain National Park that caused damage to the infrastructure. SANParks has decided to close the trail to ensure public safety and facilitate the necessary rehabilitation and repairs of the wooden boardwalks. We'll keep you posted!
Smuts Track is a 4km hike and one of the most popular walks on Table Mountain. It starts in the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, but the heart of this route begins at the intersection of Skeleton Gorge and the Contour Path.
Echo Valley Trail also starts in Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, located on the eastern slopes of Table Mountain. The main loop trail is approximately 3km to 4km long.
