Morning light from Marrakech thins as the van climbs toward the High Atlas, and the city’s heat gives way to stone walls, terraced fields and wind-scoured ridgelines. The group disembarks at a river crossing; the cascade ahead dares you into a short, rocky hike while the guide points out a Berber home and the outline of a mule track used for generations.
