07:00: Travel from Somerset West east, up Sir Lowry's Pass and over the mountain to the starting point.

By 07:30, set out on your walk. The trail is a 5 km return walk and takes, including the stops for photographs, discussions, general exploring of the area, and a lunch/refreshment break, about 4 to 5 hours to complete, depending on the stops and weather. The first 2.5 km of the walk is an uphill trail to the mountaintop and not that difficult. In the neck, atop the mountains ridge, the old pass is an easy walk, and it takes about an hour to explore around and traverse a short way down the side of the opposite mountain to view the spectacular rusts still visible in the rocks.

So once at the top of the kloof, the track starts to dip steeply down, and it is here where the ruts that the wagon wheels carved into the rocks become visible. The Dutch and British settlers at the Cape built this rough pass called the Hottentots Holland Kloof Pass following the Gantouw route. Also, while taking a bird's eye view from the top of the pass, see the 2 historic canons which were used to communicate over the mountains. Midway through the adventure, you will stop for a break for some refreshments or your lunch.
