The day begins before dawn in Marrakech, when the city’s ochre walls are still cool and the guide’s minivan hums out onto the highway toward the High Atlas. By midmorning the road has dropped into a green valley where olive groves step down the hills and terraces of barley flicker in the wind. Water announces itself first as a whisper and then, at a bend in a shaded gorge, as the thunder of Ouzoud: three-tiered cataracts plunging more than 100 meters into a basin ringed by palms and stone mills.
