Todra and Dades Gorges

The Todra and Dades gorges sit within a couple of hours of each other, each carved by a river through the same red rock as the kasbahs nearby. The Todra's narrow walls make for a short, dramatic walk; the Dades valley's switchback road is worth the drive on its own. Both are usually a stop between the Atlas and the Sahara, not a separate trip.
