Manzherokskaya Epigeneticheskaya Dolina (“Manzherok Epigenetic Valley”) in the Altai is a geologic wonderland of weathered rock forms and layered exposures.

Access is by car from Manzherok; expect remote roads and limited services—check local conditions, carry cash, water, and warm layers. Expect few/no
