Crystal Pools Hiking Trail Gordon's Bay is Closed From 1 May 2011
The Crystal Pools Hiking Trail in Gordon's Bay will be closed from 1 May 2011 to 1 May 2012 by Cape Nature Conservation to give the area a chance to rehabilitate due to the volume of hikers causing damage to the flora around the trails...this is going to be a big let down to many hikers over the next year. The Crystal Pools Hiking Trail also know as the Steenbras River Gorge is enjoyed by many and is a major draw card to Gordon's Bay...

hi,live in somerset west been hiking in the hottentotsholland mountains for 20 years already,biggest problem with hikers,they are not prepared for any event be it weather-injuries,etc,ive got 10 years bushwar experience in special ops,being in the angolan bush taught me valuable lessons,in expecting that injuries can happen any time-any place-any situation,hikers get hurt because of ignorance,have come accross many hiking groups who have absolutely no knowlege of hiking in the mountains,clothing-food-rugsack weights-footwear-fitness are key factors,in fact not even cellphones-or two-way-radios-contact numbers-no 1 knows they hiking,golden rule for hikers,always be prepared to expect the un-expected-and always be vigilent-hiking is fun but can be a death-trap for in-experienced hikers,im 54 now and still i learn from nature on hiking in the mountains
