Sarıkamış-Allahuekber Mountains National Park (Turkish: Sarıkamış-Allahuekber Dağları Milli Parkı)), established on October 19, 2004, is a national park in northeastern Turkey. The national park stretches over the mountain range of Allahuekber Mountains and is located on the province border of Erzurum and Kars.[1]

It covers an area of 22,519 ha (55,650 acres) at an average elevation of 2,300 m (7,500 ft).[1]

The national park is of historical importance, where during the Battle of Sarikamish at the beginning of World War I about 60,000 Turkish soldiers died freezing under harsh winter conditions on the Allahuekber Mountains.[1][2]
