The purpose of the nature park designation was to protect and preserve the area and resources while also developing tourism.

The Western Sayan Mountains are in the park and they were thought to be an area which would attract recreational tourism.

The trail was started in 2005 and it takes tourists through the park passing glacial lakes, mountains, canyons and rivers with waterfall features.

The trail ends at Lake Raduzhnoe, which is below a natural feature and attraction known as the Hanging Stone.

It is large stone which seems to teeter on the cliff face perched high above Lake Raduzhnoye.
