The second cataract
The second cataract is stunning, and definitely worth the steep and incredibly difficult climb. Unfortunately, it's difficult to photograph without risking being swept down the side of the mountain!

The lowest cataract
This is the lowest of the three main cataracts of the Barskoon Waterfall. While the hike to the first cataract is steep, it is a relatively short distance and definitely worth the effort!

Yuri Gagarin and the Barskoon Waterfall
Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin allegedly spotted this waterfall as he was being rocketed into space on the first ever manned space flight. This bust to Gagarin stands at the small park at the base of the mountain,allowing one to view both Gagarin and the waterfall at the same time.

My friend Ben Scott found the waters at Ala Archa a bit too cold for his liking.
