)
, north Africa's highest peak (4167m), is Morocco's
most iconic trek. The two-day hike starts at Imlil near Marrakesh; those wanting more can
hire mules to make a Toubkal Circuit trek of up to 10 days.
M'Goun Traverse
Despite the sometime fearsome reputation of the M'Goun Traverse, this four-day trek

is suitable for most levels of fitness. The landscape is both varied and spectac-
ular, from dry gorges to lush valleys, but be prepared to get your feet wet sometimes hop-
ping or wading across shallow rivers.
Rif Mountains
Morocco's lowest mountain range is ideal for springtime trekking (

, when the
Rif's oak forests are greenest and slopes are carpeted with wildflowers. Trek through the
Talassemtane National Park, past Berber villages to arrive at the audacious natural rock
formation of God's Bridge.
Jebel Saghro
This trek (

of five to six days threads a path between the High Atlas and the
Dadès Valley. The traverse of Jebel Saghro is arid but starkly beautiful, and is a prime
winter trek when other mountain trails are closed due to snow.
