Aladağlar National Park (Turkish: Aladağlar Milli Parkı), established on April 21, 1995, is a national park in southern Turkey. It got its name ''Ala-Daglar'' (Crimson-Mountains) because of the color of the rusty hills that are most noticeable at sunset.[1] The national park, a mountain range of Anti-Taurus Mountains (Turkish: Aladağlar), stretches over the locations Yahyalı in Kayseri Province, Çamardı in Niğde Province and Aladağ in Adana Province.[2]
The highest peak is with a height of 3767 meters. In Aladağlar, there are four peaks above 3700 meters for climbing.
It covers an area of 55,065 ha (136,070 acres) at an average elevation of 3,500 m (11,500 ft) above mean sea level.[2]
Due to the melting snow in the first spring, many lakes are formed in Aladağlar.
