Looking out from the summit, you will see that the High Atlas Mountains stretch out in 3 directions. They cover an eastward section of land from the Atlantic Coast to the Moroccan-Algerian border. In the southwest, they terminate at the Anti-Atlas Mountain range and in the north; and finish at the city of Marrakech. The Toubkal National Park nestles within the 3-way splay of this magnificent natural edifice that you have just trekked through.
