This morning we left the Sahara area and climbed over the Tizi n’Tichka Pass at 2,260 meters where construction was continuing to reduce landslides and straighten out some of the curves. It was a spectacular drive complete with some snow and frozen waterfalls.
Here is our Intrepid Tour guide—Khalad Noah—near the Pass.
We then headed up the windy road to Imlil where the road ended and many of us left our extra baggage at a nearby hotel and began our 3 km walk to the village of Aroumd where we would stay with a Berber family in a Gite—guesthouse. The family prepared some excellent Berber food for us in steaming hot tangines with vegetables and huge hunks of meat.
That night we loaded up with extra blankets as the fires died down and got up for an early hike up to the Sidi Chamharouch shrine—about a 5 km hike uphill where we passed other cafes along the way as well some frozen waterfalls.

We left just as dawn was breaking with our guide Hassan leading the way. What a great way to explore this rugged area.
I have recently uploaded all of my travel videos to YouTube now that they allow longer uploads and you may want to see my travel adventures there. That link is

If you do go there, please subscribe to my video channel since it will help me eventually get some income there and help with my future travels. Fewer people are using DVDs so I am transitioning to streaming my travels on my YouTube channel.
