Vance, Bobbi, and Dusty!

in Kyrgyzstan this summer, 2006

Here is a map of Kyrgyzstan. We spent parts of July and August in the northeast part of the country. We went hiking in the canyons near Bishkek and then traveled around Lake Issyk-Kol to Karakol, where there are mountains excellent for trekking. We spent six days hiking from Jete Oguz to Altyn Arashan and then returned to Balykchy at the west of the lake and went to Kochkor, where we arranged to ride horses to another lake, Son Kol. From there we returned to Bishkek to catch the plane to Dubai and catch public busses back to Abu Dhabi.
