From dense ancient forests to high mountain peaks, the Pearson hiking crew conquered the Garden Route over the school holidays, completing three incredible and diverse trails.
Their adventure took them deep into the magical, mossy indigenous forest of Kringe in die Bos, where they hiked past the famous 800-year-old Outeniqua Yellowwood tree.
They then explored the scenic paths of the Garden Route Botanical Garden, taking in the local fynbos at the foot of the mountains, before tackling their toughest challenge yet: the steep, technical climb up Vensterberg Peak, where everyone pushed through the sore legs to reach the summit.
Thanks to all the hikers that made this hike a memorable one!
