The Naryn Too (or Naryn Range, Kyrgyz: Нарын Тоосу) is a mountain range located in the internal Tien-Shan to the east of Alamyshyk Too between Naryn Valley and At-Bashy Valley. The length of the range is 120 km (75 mi) and the width is up to 18 km (11 mi). The average height is around 4,200 m (13,800 ft) with the highest point of 4,499 m (14,760 ft) (Orto-Acha mountain). The ridge has sharply rugged glacier relief. Denudation surface is at the elevation of 3,600 m (11,800 ft) - 3,800 m (12,500 ft) on the north slope of the range's eastern part. In the central part both slopes are highly dissected. There are denudation surfaces on the both slopes in the western part of the range. Foothills are along the south slope. The central and eastern parts of the range are composed of various terrigenous rock, shists, quartzites, limestones, granodiorites, and the western part - by rocks of the middle and late Paleozoic. The northern slopes are covered by spruce forests at elevations of 2,600 m (8,500 ft) - 3,000 m (9,800 ft), by sub-Alpian meadows and meadow steppes at 3,000 m (9,800 ft) - 3,200 m (10,500 ft), and by Alpine meadows at 3,200 m (10,500 ft) - 3,500 m (11,500 ft). High altitude feather-grass steppes (2,600 m (8,500 ft) - 3,000 m (9,800 ft)), spruce forests (2,800 m (9,200 ft) - 3,000 m (9,800 ft)), sub-Alpian meadows and meadow steppes, Central Asia juniper (3,000 m (9,800 ft) - 3,200 m (10,500 ft)), and glacial-nival belt (above 3,600 m (11,800 ft)) are observed at the southern slopes.
