Mr. Omar, our p.e. coach, organized a trip for students to the Toubkal area. Toubkal is the highest point in Africa at nearly 14,000 feet.
On our way there, we passed a Moroccan wedding.
We also drove by irrigation aquaducts.
Often, when my family would drive in the John Day area of Oregon, I would say, "The first person who sees an antelope, WINS." After noticing several camels out in a desert region, I decided that we need to change that and say, "The first person who sees a camel WINS!"
Two guys are crossing this river bed on a rickity bridge that is quite high up. 
For the last leg of our journey, we all piled into a van.
The van however, quit and we were stranded on a very narrow road!
Side note: This is the area where the movie, Seven Years in Tibet with Brad Pitt, was filmed.
So, we began hiking in.....
We were heading to the top building in this photo.
We arrived at our hotel in time for tea.
My room.
I really like the designs on the doors, which are typically Berber.
I got up early the next morning to take some photos from the roof and to enjoy the sunrise.
Our first hike. We are going THERE. We were blessed with overcast skies--and a bit of rain the first day.
A rest...
It was interesting how they made this drinking platform.
Five minutes on a mule before the going got too rough and I walked again.
Snacks we were given to eat.
Made it to our destination!
Our second hike....
Not Smith Rock State Park but yes, this is a climbing wall.
Up close view of the village homes.
This is a nice view of the entire village where we stayed. We had to cross this river four times... and I DID IT with the help of our wonderful guide.
If you enlarge this photo you can see folks with their mules going to town.
I took this photo while standing on the roof of our place.
This is obviously a way to slow the water run-off. (Our third hike.)
Yes, definitely the Toubkal area!
Enjoyed the mule ride UP. My guide was very helpful when the terrain was so steep going DOWN, that I had to get off and walk. A memorable trip!
