Todra Gorge
Todra Gorge (Gorges du Todra) 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 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. Its remoteness and a lack of public transport means it is only reached by determined tourists and increasing numbers of climbers.
