This area is popular among rock-climbers. We saw a group of young (12- to 14-year-old) French climbers. Here's a shot of a narrow part of the gorge with the road between the rocks.
On the way to the Dades gorge, we passed some camels. No humans visible. Notice the snowy mountains in the background? That's the Atlas range.
Also on the way to Dades, there are some unusual rock formations.
Kasbah-style buildings abound in this part of Morocco.
That night we stayed in a hotel that left something to be desired (i.e. heat). It was nice to get going in the morning. We continued up the Dades Gorge.
The road wound up and up, and we could see geology at work all around us.
We stopped to take some photos, and out of nowhere this guy appeared. He was selling fossils. The price? "As you like." He meant it, too.
This old tower is decorated with a greenish spray-painted symbol (sort of a pitchfork shape). It's the Berber symbol for freedom and is seen all around.
On our way back down through the gorge, the sun illuminated the hairpin turns.
This building, impressively perched on a bit of rock, is a hotel. We should've stayed there.
