I had a little trouble uploading these shots last weekend, but here they are.
The trip to Charyn Canyon was a lot of fun and worth the 3-hour ride (each way). One thing that struck me was how close you needed to be to realize that there was a canyon out here. For the last hour or more driving up to the site, all you could see was flat steppe with just the occasional herd of sheep to provide some variety in the view.
After we climbed down into the canyon, it was amazing to see the stone structures created by the combination of wind, rain, and river. In some places, there were rocks that looked ready to come tumbling down at any moment. You couldn't help but wonder what was keeping them in place.
The trail ended at a fast-moving river, and there was a nice spot for lunch right alongside.
