Lion's Head & Signal Hill Trail Run
Trail running around Lion’s Head and Signal Hill.
The trail run to Signal Hill and around Lion’s Head offers a picturesque adventure in the heart of Cape Town. The trail runs start at the lower Table Mountain parking lot, Kloof Neck parking.
Embark on the ascent of the lower section of Lion’s Head by following the well-marked trail. This path gently meanders through lush fynbos vegetation and gradually ascends as it skirts along the slopes of Signal Hill. Along the way, you’ll be rewarded with awe-inspiring views of the coastline, Robben Island, and the vibrant city of Cape Town. Eventually, after a challenging climb, you’ll arrive at the upper parking lot of Signal Hill, marking a well-earned milestone. Pause for a moment while you catch your breath and soak in the panoramic vista. Undeniably an ideal spot for some memorable photos.
From the upper parking lot, the trail descends towards Lion’s Head. Follow the path as it winds its way down, be careful of the occasionally steep and rocky terrain, rather take your time and be cautious. Upon reaching the base of Lion’s Head, you’ll come across the Lion’s Head Contour Path. From there, the trail leads you on a scenic journey around Lion’s Head, offering continuous views as you progress. This section of the trail features a varied mix of terrain, including occasional wooden steps that add to the adventure. As you make your way along the route, you’ll consistently be treated to breathtaking views of the turquoise waters of the Atlantic Ocean, the pristine white sand beach and the majestic Twelve Apostles Mountain Range. After completing the circuit around Lion’s Head, you’ll eventually arrive back at the starting point—the Kloof Nek parking lot—bringing your journey full circle.
Lastly, remember to bring essential trail running gear, sunscreen and appropriate clothing. As well as staying hydrated, especially during summer months while mindful of your energy levels. In contrast to the more demanding Table Mountain trail run, the Lion’s Head route offers a noticeably more approachable and user-friendly experience, requiring significantly less effort. Most importantly, embrace the adventure and savor every step of your trail run.
