Containing the magnificent Didima Valley with its many examples of San Rock art, it is a hikers paradise offering routes that range from a few hours to several days.

Cathederal Peak

For the visitors less inclined to physical activity or whose time is limited, Mike's Pass provides an opportunity to drive to the top of the Little Berg near the head of Didima Gorge for spectacular views of the main escarpment and the surrounding lowlands. While hiking a wide selection of plants and animals can be seen in the extensive grasslands and forest patches. 

Overhead the effortless flight of a Bearded vulture (Lammergeyer) while closer at hand Malachite sun birds flash from protea to protea, a noisy troop of baboons bark at the intruders in their domain and a family of Mountain reedbuck display their white tails as they race up a nearby slope. Cathedral Peak will shortly offer an upmarket 200 bed huttted camp themed to the San People and their rock art as well as a modern interactive interpretive centre which will allow visitors a glimpse into the lives of these First People.
