In the first part of the campaign report, I told how we went Mangup-Kale and Silver Streams Falls. And now tell you how we conquered the Grand Canyon of Crimea and Ai-Petri.
One of the members of our expedition had a leg that hurt, and therefore, the Grand Canyon of Crimea was decided to ride, and not bottom. Remembering that recently, I was almost dismissed from my post conductor, I did not insist on the opposite, and even tried send him to the sea. But the participant was steadfast and, heroically overcoming pain, overcame all the difficulties of mountain hiking.

Hiking in the Crimea (continued)
The sixth day. T / s Canyon – T / s Boyko – T / s Bash-Dere
Not to pay a bribe for the entrance to the Grand Canyon Crimea, we spent the night just before entering it. And from the morning, not seen by anyone, reached the Blue Lake, having made regular ablution. Lack of people and morning silence created the atmosphere of solitude and the feeling of being in the wild.

After swimming, we climbed a narrow path, gritting our teeth on the very top. And here began the very beauty for which hiking trips are starting!

Stomping a couple of hours along the top of the Grand Canyon of Crimea and passing tourist camp Boyka, we went down the gorge to the river in order just a little taste of the charm of the stone walls. After that i I saw, I wanted to come here again, to go all the same this route is on the bottom.

The sixth day. T / s Bash Dere – Ai-Petri lift – Yalta
After spending the night in the parking lot of Bash-Dere, the next day we climbed through Queen-Tele mountains and Blachag on Yalta plateau. Most to me Liked the observatory balls on the mountain and the bright yellow straw field.

When we ended up on Ay-Petrinskaya Yail, we also ended up in the clouds. We tried to admire the views of the sea and Yalta with viewing platform on Ai-Petri. Well, as far as possible, so how it was only moments when the wind threw clouds in parties.

Unfortunately, our idea is to go down the cable car to Ai-Petri was not realized. Probably the whole of Ukraine and Russia in addition, lined up for this attraction. And go to At best, pressed to the misted glass, and at worst – pressed fifty more other vacationers, seeing only the soggy backs of the add, instead of the surrounding mountains, it seemed to us at that moment a little silly, considering that the cost of the cable car on Ai-Petri is 50 UAH (200r). But with a breeze, in a half-empty bus, we flew to Yalta in an hour. What was there serpentine, still nauseated from of memories.

As a result, we passed this tourist route through the mountains to the sea, having overcome about 50 km, in 7 days, although originally planned 5-day hike. But I think for us, beginners, it is quite not bad, considering that we were not in a hurry and did not try to deliver records, went, so to speak, in a high.
I will not hide, I was just glad to have an extra unplanned day in the mountains, because I absolutely did not want the sea. Shh! Just no one say, and then they will think that I took them specially on the wilds.
The only thing that bothered me, and not only me, is ignorance when will the next spring. Yes, they were displayed on the map, but we didn’t know when we were there. Compared to the mountains of Altai, Crimea dry place.
P.S. If you go hiking in the Crimea alone, I recommend to buy a normal GPS. Mine built into the phone I worked only a few hours on a permanent basis, and this was not enough.
