Girevi to Mutso - Running through the Caucasus

After a visit to the border control in Girevi, traverse the trail above the valley. Keep one eye open for shepherd dogs so you can give them a wide berth. The other eye can enjoy the views as the landscape transitions from a deep green valley to a high, barren pass. Make the most of the flowy singletrack as it winds down the west side of the pass. On a clear day, look into the distance for the sharp peaks of the Chaukhi massif which you will reach the following day (yes, really).
