A scenic view point as one way to enter into Cape Town through Somerset West. There is a viewing point that makes for a good free activity if you are into exploring. The turns are quite sharp and the road itself is very busy so if you would like to feel safe and enjoy the view I recommend turning into the viewing spot indicated by a brown sign just as you approach the peak of the road before the view.

Often stopp here to enjoy the view but today was the last time.
No visitors except a "management vehicle" with staff parked at the entrance.
All three of the"baboon-proof" bins had their heavy lids taken completely off and the entire area looked worse than a garbage tip with litter covering the entire parking and surrounding nature while a troop of baboons picked through the bins. Staff member sat on the wall doing absolutely nothing to prevent it. Absolutely disgusting, and sadly I see more and more scenic places turn into dumps like this one...

The view at this place is sickening. You can go there and have a mini picnic, paragliding, hiking or to take pictures.

Beautiful pass into somerset west, giving you views over the helderberg area and on a sunny dag you can see table mountain in the distance

One of the most beautifully scenic drives. Take it all in and drive carefully.
