About Golden Gate Highlands

Golden Gate Highlands National Park is characterized by its distinctive sandstone cliffs and outcrops. The park derives its name from the brilliant shades of gold cast by the sun on the sandstone cliffs. It protects a rare highland habitat and contains valuable paleontological sites with dinosaur fossils.
