Scenic Routes :: Mountain Pass
The Pass is situated in the Richtersveld near the small town of Eksteenfontein. The roads in the Helskloof/Nababiep Nature Reserve are mostly sandy tracks in good condition. You will see many Quiver Trees dotting the horizon, as well as Half-human trees in the Reserve. On the way down from Helskloof to the Orange River, you have a great view of a dry river bed and the granite topped mountains common in the area.
