Itinerary description
A nice hike with plenty of trailblazing in deep snow. Neither widely known trails, nor much visited by hikers.
Once passes the first ecological post, take a right turn, follow the road, which can be icy during the winter-early springtimes. The road is steep in some sections and will lead you to the observation spot. To proceed further one has to trailblaze. Upon the end of the road keep hiking along deep into the valley, which will take you all the way to the Oi-qaragai ski resort. Alternatively, one can turn left and follow a steep trail to Aktas. The trail was covered in 2-3 ft deep snow, so it was decided to cut through the woods and bushes. Ascending along the SW side was even steeper. Once on the ridge just keep following it all the way to Aktas plateau.
Can be challenging in winter and early spring, whilst summer and early autumn is a good time to visit the area. Views are worth the effort.
