Start as the sun rises to beat the day's heat. Take water and something warm to wear as it can get cold along the way. Depending on how fit you are (this is a steep path where you climb stone stairs all the way to the top) you can get to the top in 60 minutes or 3 hours. You can take the Cable Car down!

Easiest hiking route up Table Mountain. Also the busiest.

You can get away with wearing workout gear and sneakers, but you must bring a backpack with: sunscreen, sunglasses, your phone in a ziplock baggie, emergency snacks, and at least 2L of water per person on your hike. If you have a true crisis, you can call "Mountain Rescue" and they will save you.

the most popular route up the mountain, but don’t be fooled – it’s tough and steep. Make sure to bring sufficient water and to check the weather before hiking.
