Pipe Track

Average: 3.2 (43 votes)

The Pipe Track is one of the easiest walks on Table Mountain because it does hardly any climbing. Basically the path follows an old water pipe along a contour from the Kloofnek parking area along the side of table mountain above Camps Bay.  The views of Table Mountain, Lions Head, Twelve Apostles and Camps Bay are wonderful for such an easy hike.

Lions Ridge

Average: 2.5 (11 votes)

There is a path from Lions Head to Signal Hill which runs along the ridge between these two points. Because it is along the ridge this path offers lovely views of the Atlantic and Sea Point, Camps Bay on the one side and Table Mountain and the City Bowl on the other.
