Yesterday I was in Gumbashi, a long canyon,
parallel to Caucasian main chain with Elbrus on top.
The road all along this canyon as well as side
roads and paths are always free for extreme biking.
This canyon was part of the ancient Silk way,
with fortresses, forposts and cities all along it. There are plenty of ruins
and artefacts hidden on plateus, rising on both sides. Local shepherds keep all
the secrets.
While I was taking pictures of rocks and wild
plums in blossom,
high in the sky there floated a couple of
eagles,
…playing their spring love games (blue circle)
This is how Caucasian eagle looks
together
with his owner.
I call
this picture “Two eagles”,
both wild,
strong and fearless
Blackthorn
blossoming bushes on rocks
On the highest point of the canyon road there
is a local restaurant.
The view
from this place is terrific.

covered Elbrus
Several km from this place, on the plateau,
there is a private tiny spa and skiing resort.
Travelers stay there in small wooden houses
with all modern conveniences.
The road from this place to Elrus (70 km on plateaus),
passes
through thermal springs, where you can bathe in natural cavities and small
lakes.
I have never been there, but plan to enjoy
this place this summer. You need a jeep or mountain motor bike to get there.

Adventures begin with pictures and desire to
explore unknown wild beauty and danger!
