Todgha Gorge
The Todgha Gorges are a series of limestone river canyons, or wadi, in the eastern part of the High Atlas Mountains in Morocco, near the town of Tinerhir. Both the Todgha River and the neighbouring Dadès River are responsible for carving out these deep cliff-sided canyons, on their final through the mountains. The height of the canyon walls can vary, but in some places can be up to high.
Description
The last of the Todgha gorge are the most spectacular. Here the canyon narrows to a flat stony track, in places as little as wide, with sheer and smooth rock walls up to high on each side.During the dry season, the canyon floor is mostly dry; at most there will be a small stream of water. During this time, the wadi floor is easily traversed by travelers. During the rainy season, however, the Todra can expand massively, covering the canyon floor in a strong torrent.
