Iskanderkul. One of the treasures of Tajikistan, named after Alexander the Great, who made it this far before turning for home (and dying on the way).Here are some pics from around the lake...
My goal was the get to the top of that unique rock in the center of this photo. It turned out to be such as easy hike with such a high reward, that I did it again the next day with my family an a couple friends...
Jen looking like a serious mountain-climbin'-momma with Silas strapped on...
A few shots from the way up...
We also saw lots of interesting wildlife like partridges and even a wolf (who just escaped a photo) but the most photogenic were the eagles...
He's in the middle...
And the panorama from the top. You'll have to click on it to see it bigger...
Enjoying the view from the top...
Actually Ella and I got up there first, and she used the opportunity to yell at the others to hurry up...
