Crystal Pools

With permits at last, we set out on Saturday morning to hike the Steenbras River Trail out at Gordon's Bay. It was great to see Allan and Joanne again and meet their church group.


We left quite early in the day and it was still pretty shady when we got to the first pool.






We passed by the second pool and stopped for lunch at the third. Looking up the valley there must be more pools hidden there that we'll have to find next time. Allan says the trail extends all the way up to the dam and the N2. I'd definitely then have to pack more lunch!


Luckily we had the whole place to ourselves and had a good time chilling under the waterfall and catching a tan on the rocks before heading back.
