Ala Dağlar

My first view of the Ala Dağlar

Ala Dağlar Milli Parkı trailhead/someone's backyard

After arriving in Niğde around 9 am and waiting two hours for the minibus to show up, we boarded a very crowded local dolmuş. That ride took an hour and a half over roads paved in pot holes to dump us at the feet of an incredible range of mountains. The Ala Dağlar are about 50 km long and located south of Kapadokya and North of Adana with the highest peak, Demerkazik, measuring 3756 meters.
