I would like to correct the author of the article - it is better not to go to poles in the summer - there are ticks!
Here I read the reviews, and I understand how lazy people are .. 6km uphill on the asphalt to the poles can not pass, donuts and tea they need .. sensation that is not on the pillars, and so the seeds came out in the courtyard. Many even do not reach the pillars themselves. After all, there is still up the mountain for NOT asphalt road to go.
I've been walking on poles since childhood, and now I prefer to visit - wild pillars, not paved paths. There is still preserved the nature in its original form, people never happens as in a mink. There really is a pristine beauty. For a long time, I do not know: (Already now I see garbage and campfire, rising to Tak Mack .. it's painful and painful ..

I live in Krasnoyarsk, and I am very proud of our reserve .It is worth visiting at all seasons, because the Pillars look different - harsh, when covered with snow, friendly when all around is green and birds sing, squirrels jump, chipmunks cautiously nibble nuts brought by visitors .And in the autumn the reserve is unique! I want to correct Denis: the cafes are working now and on weekends, delicious donuts, pancakes and sbiten to tourists are provided all the way to the Stalls .And there is no longer to eat, there you need to breathe in, climb, recharge the energy of a natural miracle .Do not just burn bonfires and get off the hiking trail, especially if you do not know the reserve very well: we have a full of bears .
