Itinerary description

This is a good tough 2-hour loop from the Annex, with a tough decent down from the airport, a great trail into and through the village of Ben Smim, a demanding climb up out of the Ben Smim valley on what I call the "Lost Road," and on up and around the rocky southern flanks of Jebel Koudiat and back into Ifrane.

The route is mostly wild in this area... just press on.

Avoid the older track--it's horribly rocky!
