The last time we walked the Echo Ravine Trail from Glen Reenen, Joubert was still a bit too young to join. This time around Marilize and I could finally share this beautiful walk with our son, something we’ve been looking forward to for some time.

Beautiful wild flowers abound

Enjoy those hikes while Joubert still wants to join – our daughter Zuza has officially turned into a teenager, and walking is considered very ‘uncool’ at this stage in life!
Oh my goodness – I never thought about that!
We neither, but we’re at that stage right now – and that includes a 4 months old Labrador pup to keep everyone happy!
Love those rock formations!
I can stare at them for hours!
I had to look hard for the rock hyrax. Camouflaged, indeed!
If he wasn’t so curious we wouldn’t have noticed him either, Lois!
A beautiful landscape! I would guess that ravine would be a cool spot on a hot day.
Spot on, Pat! The constant dripping of water from above, the deep shade and the cold stone walls really does create a cool haven in the ravine on a hot day.
