Saturday 8am we set out from the city center of Ifrane onto a path that led us to Ain Vittel, around the campus toward the Zarrouqa Lake. From there we entered the cedar forest. Large oak trees, and cedars greeted us. We walked along the border of the Royal Palace and waved to the guards. It was a beautiful fall day, bright sun but chilly wind.
We came out near Borj, where military families live, and walked further down the road to the dam. After we walked along the windy River (Oued) Tizguit until we entered town again. It was a beautiful 12 km hike. I posted many pictures so you can observe the diversity of such a small span of land. It went from green to rocky and dry, forest, grassy, hilly, forest, back to riverside mossy in 3 hours. I love the Middle Atlas Mountains!
