Bale
Mountains
National Park
is an area of high altitude plateau that is broken by numerous spectacular
volcanic plugs and peaks, beautiful alpine lakes and rushing mountain
streams that descend into deep rocky gorges on their way to the lowlands
below. As you ascend into the mountains you will experience changes in the
vegetation with altitude, from juniper forests to heather moorlands and
alpine meadows, which at various times of year exhibit an abundance of
colourful wildflowers.
Bale Mountains
National Park is the largest area of Afro-Alpine habitat in the whole of
the continent. It gives the visitor opportunities for unsurpassed mountain
walking, horse trekking, scenic driving and the chances to view many of
Ethiopia's endemic mammals, in particular the Mountain Nyala and Semien
Fox, and birds, such as the Thick-billed Raven, Wattled Ibis, Blue-winged
Goose, and Rouget's Rail.
