The Pipe Trail offers stunning views of Camps Bay, Clifton, Maiden's Beach, and of course, Table Mountain itself. The trail is an easy walk, but it can be dangerous in some areas, so it's important to wear appropriate footwear and be extra cautious if you're bringing kids along.
While there are no toilets or water sources along the way, the scenery is worth the trek. You'll encounter a variety of plants along the trail, and there are some interesting landmarks to look out for.
