A local trail with awesome views, the trail meanders along the hillside just below the "GB" sign. Not the easiest walking, as it is fairly Stony and Rocky through most of its length (2.9km).

One of Gordon’s Bay little secrets is Crystal Pools. A natural waterfall where the water falls down from the Steenbras Dam. You can enjoy an open-air cold shower, and jumping off rocks into the pools. You will need to purchase a permit and do plenty of research so you are well prepared for this hike.
