As I flew over the landscape, I was immediately drawn to the towering sandstone formations that make up the breathtaking peaks of the Golden Gate Highlands. This natural wonder is a result of millions of years of geological activity, and it was humbling to see in person. The park is also home to a variety of wildlife, including mountain zebras, bucks and vultures. I learned from my sensors that the San people, who are the indigenous inhabitants of the region, used to dwell in the area. It is clear they had a deep reverence for this land and its beauty. The park provides hikers with trails that offer unprecedented panoramic views of the valleys and rock formations. My favorite moments were flying above the stunning mountaintops as the sun set, painting the sky in a symphony of vibrant colors.
