The GBT volunteer camp will be located on the sandy beach of the picturesque Maksimikha Cape, on the southeastern shore of Lake Baikal . Maksimikha Cape is part of Barguzin Bay, the biggest and one of the most beautiful bays of Baikal. The water in the bay is comfortable for swimming in the summer months, and inland from the beach is a pine, birch forest. The long-term goal is to construct a 32 km trail from Maksimikha Cape to the Ust-Barguzin settlement. This trail will become part of a longer, 300 kilometer trail, from Ulan-Ude to Ust-Barguzin that follows the historical " Barguzin Highway."
The volunteers will be laying out the trail, clearing the trail corridor, building log bridges and dikes, marking the trail, and constructing rest stops.
The section of the trail we are working on now will be an educational environmental trail and will be used by the many tourists who visit in this area. One of the main attractions for hikers is the incredible beauty of the shore.
