Todra Gorge

Atlas gebergte,
Marokko


Todra Gorge is a canyon in the eastern part of the High Atlas Mountains, near the town of Tinerhir.
Both the Todra and neighbouring Dades Rivers have carved out cliff-sided canyons (Arabic: wadi) on their final 40 kilometers (25 MI) through the mountains.
The last 600 meters (1,969 ft) of the Todra gorge are the most spectacular. Here the canyon narrows to a flat stony track, in places as little as 10 meters (33 ft) wide, with sheer and smooth rock walls up to 160 meters (525 ft) high on each side.
The tiny glacier stream is something of a misfit, the river which once filled the gorge must have carried a lot more water.
The scenery is spectacular,it was not easy to get all of it from top to bottom, had to go in the water.
