The High Atlas Mountains are pretty rugged and beautiful. We did a four day trek supported by a cook with a mule.
Being supported meant that we only carried day packs, and the cook made all of our meals. Pretty luxurious!
The high light of the trip was the ascent of the highest mountain in Northern Africa, mount Toubkal at 4137m / 13,652'.
It was a pretty easy mountain technically, but we did need crampons near the top. We were the last group to leave the hut, and the first group to summit! Not bad for a couple nearly middle aged Canadians.
Off to the Sahara desert next!
