Taurus Mountains


The Taurus is a Mountain range in southern Turkey I actually think this is a cool place because it reminds me of the Himalayas. The highest peak there is Mt. Demerkazik. It is, 12,320 ft. tall. something I didn't really know until Alexis told me was that there was a German, Turkish Railway in World War 1. We stayed in a resort 16 miles above any town. On one of the hikes we found out that limestone has eroded the insides of some of the mountains. Because of the erosion there is a bunch of underground caves, and waterfalls. My favorite thing about this place is that they found evidence of tin mining inside the caves. I would love to go back here.
