Krasnoyarsk - Stolby

The Stolby National Nature Reserve is located at the border between the northwestern offshoots of the Eastern Sayan mountains and the Central Siberian Plateau, where the plateau joins the West-Siberian Plain and the Altay-Sayan Mountains. The reserve is naturally bounded by the right tributaries of the Yenisey River (the Bazaiha River on the northeast, the Mana and Bolshaya Slizneva rivers on the south and south-west) and approaches the outskirts of Krasnoyarsk city in the northeast.
This summer  Reserve was closed for tourists until 16th of July because of bears activity. I was lucky to be in Siberia in the end of July. Achinsk is located 170 kilometers from Krasnoyarsk, so I woke up early in the morning, got on the bus at 5 o'clock and had enough time to return back in the evening. There are my pictures of Stolby:
