Field notes
The field account
The main main road connects the Oblast of Chuy and that of Issyk Kul by a canyon 40 km long. But this passage was only opened during the expedition led by explorer Pyotr Semionov-Tian-Chanski in 1857. The colors of the rocks are incredible. You can visit several small canyons with red rocks like the Creek canyon.
