Charyn Canyon GPS tracks and Nav. Waypoints

This .gpx file contains our exact track from our hike as well as over 30 navigation markers, waypoints for water sources, backcountry campsites and points of interest. It also includes some insights into work-arounds for the more challenging sections of the hike (these could be a big help).

I've also included a .pdf and a .docx file with the step x step directions to use offline along side the maps.

I included a route for my hypothetical extension northeast past the ash grove and to the village of Charyn. In hindsight I wish I had planned the route this way originally and I hope to return to finish it some day.

The file is downloaded as a compressed ZIP file because the my store doesn't natively support .gpx files but just unzip it and you're good to go.

Please remember that even with this information at your disposal, including the GPS Navigation Package, you are ultimately the only one responsible for your safety in the backcountry. Small mistakes can compound, mountain weather can be extreme and unpredictable, and a minor injury here could leave you stranded with no way to call for help. (We always carry a satellite messenger for this reason, but don't expect an official search and rescue party in Uzbekistan.) Always get updated local information for the weather and mountain conditions before you hike and be safe out there!
