Todra Gorge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Todra Gorge (French: Gorges du Todra, Arabic: تدرة جورج) is situated on the remote east side of the High Atlas Mountains in Morocco. Both the Todra and neighbouring Dades Rivers have carved out cliff-sided canyons (Arabic: wadi) on their final 40km through the mountains. The final 600m of the Todra gorge are the most spectacular as the canyon narrows to a flat stony track as little as 10m wide in places with sheer and smooth rock walls up to 300m high on each side. The tiny glacier stream is something of a misfit and the river which once filled the gorge can only be imagined.
It is no longer as remote as it once was, there is a reasonably well-maintained asphalt road that leads up the valley from Tinerhir to the Gorge. A concrete road continues on, past the hotels at the mouth of the Gorge and up to the villages of Aït Hani, Tamtatouchte, and Imilchil.
