Golden Gate Highlands National Park

Golden Gate Highlands National Park is located in Free State, Republic of South Africa, near the Lesotho border. It covers an area of 41 km² (16 mi²). The park's most notable features are its golden, ochre and orange hued deeply eroded sandstone cliffs and outcrops, especially the Brandwag rock. Another feature of the area is the numerous caves and shelters displaying San rock paintings. It is the Free State's only national park, and is more famous for the beauty of its landscape than for its wildlife.
