To Climber’s Cemetery
I got a few hours free on the weekend to hike up to the climber’s cemetery in Ala Archa National Park. The cemetery was established in Soviet times for fallen climbers (most often, literally fallen climbers). It is hidden away in a grove of larch trees — well enough hidden that I missed it the first time I hiked up the valley late last year. The winter scenery was pretty spectacular.
