This is a formal hiking trail, called the Ribbok trail, in the Golden Gate Highlands National Park in South Africa. It is a circular trail and can be started at any point on the trail with the finish at the start point. The traditional starting point, including the gps file attached, is at the pedestrian bridge crossing the Little Caledon River in the Glen Reenen campsite.

The Shining Sea Bikeway follows the route of a former railroad line run by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company, which ran service to New York and Boston from 1872 to 1965. After the railroad company discontinued service along the line, local residents Joan Kanwisher, Barbara Burwell (mother of Rails-to-Trails Conservancy’s cofounder David Burwell), and several other supporters organized in a nine-year-long effort to have the village of Woods Hole acquire the land and build a trail, which officially opened in June 1974.
