Mountain Adventures in Southern Russia
Imagine a non-Westerner saying that a trip to America is only worthwhile if you visit New York City or Los Angeles — places that they know about from movies. Or maybe they’re seeking a scenic getaway, looking for the best that America has to offer, and only Yosemite or Yellowstone national parks come to mind.
Yes, they places are wonderful for sightseers and active outdoorsmen. But, what a missed-opportunity for any outdoor adventurer if they never heard of Alaska’s Mt. McKinley, North America’s highest mountain and one of the “Seven Summits,” the highest peaks on each of the world’s continents. Alaska is probably not a top-of-mind destination for such people when planning a trip to the United States.
Southern Russia is even more obscure to most Westerners, but there is a whole other world to discover there. Russia is the world’s largest nation, stretching from Eastern Europe through northern Asia, covering nine different time zones, and features extremely diverse climates and landscapes.
Ask yourself this — what do you think of when you think of Russia? Do you think about Moscow – Russia’s loud, financial and political center? How about St. Petersburg, the beautiful home of Russian art, culture and heritage? Or Trans-Siberia, the area that dominates the rest of Russia’s flat, cold and barren land inhabited by bears (the best of stereotypes!).
Those are probably the familiar places for non-Russians. But head almost directly south from Moscow toward Asia and (surprise!), you’ll discover the majestic mountains of the North Caucasus that are home to warm and hospitable locals who are descendants of fascinating and rich ancient cultures that transcend Soviet and Russian influences.
