Barkly Pass
Barkly Pass is situated in the high mountains of the Eastern Cape, South Africa, on the Regional R58 tarred road between Elliot and Barkly East.
The pass starts a few kilometers outside Elliot at 1,473 m above sea level and ascends moderately steep at a gradient of 1:22 attaining an elevation gain of 626 m in a distance of 12 km.[1] After a few sharp hairpin bends it reaches an elevation of 2018 m at the summit. The pass is subject to frequent winter snow closures.
Look out for the country style hotel at the head of the pass where travellers can catch up with some of the local history.
