Kackar Mountains

Kaçkar Mountains (Armenian: Խաչքարի լեռներ; Turkish: Kaçkar Dağları) or simply Kaçkars (Turkish: Kaçkarlar), formerly known as Lazistan Mountains are a mountain range that rises above the Black Sea coast in eastern Turkey.
With highest peak Kaçkar Dağı at an elevation of 3,937 metres (12,917 ft), and mountain plateaus at about 3,000 m (9,800 ft) in elevation, it is the highest part of the Pontic Mountains. The Kaçkars are glaciated mountains that are alpine in character, with steep rocky peaks and numerous mountain lakes. The area was declared a national park in 1994.  Tourism activities in the park include hiking, camping, mountaineering, and, increasingly, heliskiing.
