No Experience Required

You arrive before the heat, the minivan threading out of Marrakech as the city’s ochre walls blur into olive-speckled plains. The road climbs slowly toward the High Atlas; by the time the driver parks and you step out, the air smells like river spray and sun-warmed stone. From the top rim the Cascades d’Ouzoud unspool in a broad, tiered curtain — white water cutting through rust-colored cliffs, spray throwing small rainbows that move with the wind.
