O.B. Tuzel’s Cicerone guide to the Ala Dag and climbing and trekking in Turkey’s Crimson Mountains is one of a kind and is recommended for any walkers planning a trip to this little know area of Turkey. The mountains of the Ala Dag consist of five main valley systems, all of which have stunning walks and exciting walks; described here for the first time.

Divided into four sections, the volume has a comprehensive introduction to each of the best trekking areas - the Cimbar and Kayacik valleys, the Yedi Gold, the Emli and Siyirma vallers and the Kokorot and Kara Gol valleys. Additionally, there are detailed notes on getting access to the region as well as geology and the history of the mountains. Easily accessible, the Crimson Mountains still have an expeditionary feel to them and are sure to become increasingly popular with trekkers of all abilities. Sketch route maps and colour photographs also accompany the extensive route descriptions to make planning your trip easier.
