A trip through the Vilyuchinsky pass, the plateau of the Gorely volcano, to the area of the Mutnovsky volcano by a KAMAZ all-terrain vehicle.
Stop at the Vilyuchinsky pass, which offers a magnificent panorama of the neighboring volcanoes – Vilyuchinsky and Gorely.
The purpose of our trip today will be the Summer springs — an active geo-thermal plateau.
Arrival at the starting point of the hiking route. The briefing.
Easy trekking with small ascents and descents to the valley of Summer springs (about 2 km in one direction). A walk among various thermal phenomena that will be practically under our feet in maximum proximity — boiling boilers, hot springs, large and small steam-gas jets, small waterfalls.
Red-hot steam roars straight out of the ground, enveloping the yellow-red stones and green slopes of the valley. Everything is hissing, whistling, bubbling. There are also bubbling gray puddles with viscous boiling water, fountains of hot springs, tunnels.
Country springs are called the Small Valley of Geysers, but there are no real geysers here — not boiling water, but hot gas, which heats the water on the surface, simulating a geyser, comes out of the ground.
Let's go to the new active zone, which appeared in 2024, creating a new landscape.
Return to the car, in a quiet place in the valley of the stream, we will make a picnic lunch: lunch box, hot tea.
On the way back, we will stop and walk (about 500-700 m) to another picturesque location — a 16-meter waterfall on the Calm Stream, which is called the "Snow Leopard" waterfall.
In the afternoon, return to the city.
Meals: lunch is included on the tour (lunch box).
Distances and duration: road: 70 km, 2-3 hours (one way); walking distance: 4 km + 1.5 km (both ways); total program time: from 07:30 to 17:00.
