An interesting attraction Altay Mars is located in the Kyzyl Chin valley. There are two locations called Mars-1 and Mars-2. If you have time, then after visiting the main place of the colored mountains, be sure to follow the path to the mountainside in the gorge, which is called Mars-2.
The red color of the rock on Altay Mars was formed under the influence of iron oxide, and the yellow color under the influence of chromium. These two colors prevail in the location of the main Mars-1. Compounds of titanium, tin, niobium and dozens of other rare metals have been found here.
If you want to see the rocks, where shades of blue and pink predominate, then you need to go to the Mars-2 location. The blue and pink color of the rocks in the Mars-2 gorge is given by manganese compounds. To Mars-2, you need to follow the streambed 3 kilometers from Mars-1. The trail passes through a gorge with a climb of 70 meters.
On Mars-1, you can contact people who will take you to Mars-2 by car. However, the road does not run along the streambed, but along the mountain plateau around. You can drive up to the observation deck by car. It is far away, however, the view of Mars-2 from it is very beautiful.
