The Crown Yellowstone Weekend Special
Book 2 nights or more over a weekend and get 2 Entrance Tickets to the Yellowstone Hiking Trail – compliments of The Crown. Yellowstone, a moderate hike with many exilerating challenges, stretched over 5,7km and takes about 3 – 4 hours to complete.
Yellow Stone Hiking trails comprises of two trails – the shorter Green Trail, graded easy, 1.75km long with an elevation loss / gain of 50 mm. The scenery is beautiful, and the trail leads to the top of the waterfall. The rock formations are spectacular and impressive, and the area is known to be a popular breeding place for the rare Southern Bald Ibis. It is a short and pleasant walk with ample photo opportunities (30-45 mm)
The Brown Trail, however, is longer – secluded and very well maintained, it is considered a mild walk, 5.7 km long and offers quite a few highlights. The elevation loss / gain is 358 mm. Traversing high rock formations, a forested gorge, down a chain, up a tyre ladder, past a spectacular tarn, and taking a refreshing but chilly shower under the waterfall adds to the excitement. The trail overlooks the historic Brandwaterkom Valley.
