M’Goun Valley

The M'Goun massif offers some of the best walking in Morocco, as well as fantastic local architecture. Jebel Mgoun, at 4,071 metres (13,356 ft), the second highest peak of the High Atlas Mountain Range, lies near Azilal, some 2.5 hours' drive east of Marrakech. This remote area is visually very distinctive, being composed of long crested ridges, escarpments and deep gorges.
