Overview
The Lower Butakovka Waterfall spills about 30 m down a wall of dark granite, landing in a shallow pool at roughly 2,100 m altitude. The spray keeps the surrounding rocks and vegetation a vivid green through summer. From here, those with energy can continue up the valley for another 45–60 minutes to reach the Upper Butakovka Waterfall (~20 m, ~2,500 m altitude), which stays partially frozen well into June. Most day-hikers turn back at the lower fall and return by the same trail, making it a 6 km round trip from the eco-post.
