Why it's worth your time
A desert-river multi-day in one of the country's most surreal parks. Rock, heat, klipspringer, and the Orange River below. Carrying water; basic huts.
What we love
The silence and the moon-like rock.
What to know
Carry all water; extreme heat in summer. Walk it April to September only.
