More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You leave Marrakech before the heat climbs, tires whispering over the national road as the city gives way to almond orchards and the first slopes of the High Atlas. The road to Amizmiz threads between scrub and terraced fields; Lalla Takerkoust lake appears as a polished eye, then the secondary road climbs toward the Kik Plateau. By late morning you stand above villages cut from earth and stone, the air smelling faintly of mint and wood smoke.
