 canyon / gorge, interesting place, tourist attraction
The Grand Canyon is one of the most impressive places of Crimean peninsula. Situated on Northern slopes of Ai-Petri mountain (the plateau above Yalta) it is beautiful at any time of a season. Walls of the canyon are up to 300m. above its bottom, and the width at most narrow place is only 1,5m!

The most popular destinations in the Grand Canyon — "Blue Pond" and the "Bath of Youth" — are just 2-4 km up the stream from the parking area, so they are great for a day hike with children. Swimming is allowed, but the water is never warmer then 11C.

When rangers are around, they charge a small fee for entering the canyon.
