Camp by bubbling springs and crystal clear lakes. Hike over mountain passes to Medvejy and Verhnye Avachinsky Lakes as well as looking out to a huge bowl of mountains and extinct Bakhening Volcano. At both Medvejy Lake and Verhnye Avachinsky Lake there is good trout fishing. After the lakes climb up the Timonovsky Pass and drop down into the Timonovsky River valley.
