Saddle Rock

5 Candice Panthera - a year ago

Saddle Rock is a great place to stop and have break after having slogged for 10 or 20 min from the road up The Saddle. It is also the intersection of footpaths: going up/down The Saddle; going up/down Devil's Peak; traversing to Oppelskops köp via the upper path.
The views of the city are great. The views of Table Mountain and Lions Head are stupendous.
There is water around in winter and in summer it still feels like a somewhat richer spot, due to the fact that any moisture that is collected up there from cloud gathers into The Saddle, some underground, before making its way down the mountain, under the city in canals, and to the sea.

I've left out pictures of the Rock itself, as the are plenty from other reviews.

Beautiful place, good hike and lots of options ontop of saddle. Roughly 16 plants in flower there now. Great after good rains for waterfalls and streams. Best 5 hours of my day.

If you're out to have a look at a large very average rock, this is 100% the place to be!!!!

Great hike with phenomenal views just start early as the sun can be unforgiving if not taken into consideration.????????

Great opportunity for a hike and take in the breathtaking panorama of Table Mountain and the City Bowl. Moderate about 2 hours to complete.
