Overview
The Turgen Gorge runs roughly 30 km from the national park gate up to the Asy Pass. The gorge walls tighten around dense pine forest and a series of waterfalls — Bear Falls (Medvezhiy), at 28–30 m, is the most visited. The road deteriorates quickly past the gate: packed earth, loose gravel, and the first of several shallow river crossings appear within a few kilometres. Keep momentum on the rocky sections but go slowly at fords to check depth. Altitude here ranges from 1300 m at the gate to 2600 m at the pass.
