This is the same trail I did when I hiked up Table Mountain! I think you outlined it well, because it can be a bit confusing. I would definitely recommend getting a map and planning out your hike before hand. The views from the top are stunning, it was a cloudy day when I hiked, so we were going through fog a lot of the way. But when we got to the top our heads were peaking out over the clouds. Really stunning!! I advise bringing lots of water and a rain jacket also because the weather changes instantly in Cape Town.

This was one of my favorite hikes when I lived in the Bay Area! It's a hike that never gets old and you can do over and over without getting bored. The three mile trek is a little tougher than you think the first time, so bring water and be ready! My favorite time to start think hike is just like the adventure said: before sunset! Be sure you are prepared for the hike down also, I always bring a hat and am wearing sunscreen because sometimes the heat is brutal. Happy adventuring!
