This Upper Silvermine hiking trail begins at the Silvermine Dam parking area. From there, take the path from the right of the car park that heads up to Steenberg Ridge - follow the ridge path until it crosses the Elephant Eye Trail - head to the left to join the concrete road, then follow the dirt road towards Hout Bay. You'll soon come across the Amphitheatre Path on your left. Stay on this path, keeping to the left as it curves high above the dam and then heads back along the ridge until it descends to a sandy road back to the dam.Note: Silvermine entry is cash only. And there is no phone reception.
