Morocco High Atlas Trek, Summer, 2017

We trekked in the High Atlas Range of Morocco during June and July of 2017. After flying to Marrakesh we transferred to the village of Iskataffen for the start of the trek. Heading west for 3 weeks along the spine of the High Atlas, we walked almost 200 miles and ascended almost 40,000 ft, climbing the summits of Jebel Mgoun and Jebel Toubqal. Look for more details in our blog at "Along the High Atlas - Part I" and "Along the High Atlas - Part II".
