Özet
Trabzon-Bayburt sınırında Soğanlı Dağlarının kuzey yamacında yer alan buzul gölleri, buzul vadileri ve 3 bin metrenin üzerindeki zirveler dağcılar ve doğasever yürüyüşçüler için önemli bir adrenalin bölgesidir. Bu bölge, buzul gölleri ve çevresinin doğa harikası görünümü, sarp topoğrafyası, vadilerdeki moren yığışımları, alpin çayırları ve otantik yayla evleri ile görülmesi gereken bir turizm destinasyonu ve tırmanma rotası olarak öne çıkarmaktadır.
