The reason for naming those mountains Copper Mountains is that in the spring and the summer, before the sun advances toward west and is about to rise, the surfaces of those mountains turn into a kind of copper red with the sun rays.
Anyone wishing to see the colors of Beydaglari, where the ski-center is situated, should come to the 'Scenery Point' on the way to Saklikent, where the necropolis of Trebenna antique city is, and watch the peaks of Beydaglari while the sun is rising in September.
