There are easy gradients for the less fit, steeper sections for the more active and very steep sections for the most adventurous hiking group. The Magaliesberg range is a quartzite escarpment ridge dipping down in a northerly direction forming the southern rim to the Bushveldt Igneous Complex. The Crocodile River is seen clearly from most points on the trail as it follows a geological fault line through the Hartebeespoort Dam northwards towards the town of Brits. Two paths traverse the main kloof separating the east and west peaks of the Uitkyk property. Rust red walls tower up on each side from dense woodland at the bottom.
Paths climb out of the kloof to give hikers access to the high ground.
From the twin mountain peaks spectacular views are to be enjoyed in all directions. To the west, the extent of the Magaliesberg range comes into view as it stretches away toward Rustenburg. Northward vistas of the Brits valley are to be enjoyed with their mix of agricultural and mining activity and on the northern horizon are the granitic outcrops of the Wonderkopies and the Crocodile Mountain. On a very clear day one can see as far north as the Waterberg. On the trails various points of interest are marked with identification stakes and these correspond to similarly marked points on the trail map.
