The second day of trekking the Atlas Mountains ended up being one of my favorites for its sheer wow factor and beauty. Day two took us from the lovely village of Tiziane to the remote Imgdal, a lovely Berber village in the heart of the Atlas Mountains. The five-hour hike would take us up along the Assif n’ait Oussaden valley, passing through walnut groves, climbing up via switchbacks through the clouds until our descent into the village of Imgdal.
After an early morning breakfast, we packed our gear and set off to the rising sun and the echoes of the call to prayer. As we left the village, school children were already up and ready for their walk to school while farmers were heading out to the fields for their day of work. Just like the day before, we did not see another tourist and had the entire trail to ourselves.
Heading out for our hike a little after seven am from the lovely village of Tiziane
