Morocco has many wonderful hikes from the simple inclined stroll to the death defying mountain side scale. Throughout my time here, I have been lucky enough to hike in the Chefchaouen countryside, the Sahara dunes, the Todra gorge and today the High Atlas Mountains. Far from a simple stroll, this 7 hour 15k hike up the switch backed mountain path was long, difficult in sections but oh so satisfying to summit. With a beautiful view, (including believe it or not SNOW!) and a goat filled peak, this day long hike was a wonderful break from the city shopping, the sweltering heat and the aggressive shop keepers!
