	Mount Toubkal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jbel (Jebel) Toubkal is a mountain peak in southwestern Morocco.
		It is located 63 km south of the city of Marrakech, in the Toubkal National Park.
		From that point a path crosses the stream, climbs a steep scree slope to the east and enters a valley (corrie), then climbs another steep slope to reach a col (Tizi'n'Toubkal at 3,940m).

		Jebel Toubkal, the highest mountain in North Africa stands among a select group of 4,000 metre plus peaks in the High Atlas range in Morocco.

		VEGETATION The vegetational associations of the Toubkal massif are directly influenced by altitude, by the Atlantic Ocean and by proximity to the Sahara Desert.
		The park boundaries are to be redefined in the near future to exclude degraded habitats, and wardening is to be made more effective to reduce the adverse effects of livestock grazing.
		Excessive overgrazing by livestock, in combination with fire and illegal timber and wood extraction, is drastically affecting the mountain ecology.

	Toubkal Circuit: Day 11
		I laid a gigantic turd which was tastefully used, together with a dead goat, as a base for an energetic game of Aki 123.
		There was a feeling that whilst we were pleased to have conquered Toubkal, it was only a small part of a greater tour – the remote villages, gorge, camaraderie and friendship of the Berbers had all formed the experience.
		This said, now we had achieved the target, there was a move from the Divisions boys to walk straight down the valley the next day rather than cross a ridge to a further campsite.

		This is where the Toubkal Massif rises to a lofty 4,167 metres (13,672 feet), where there are fine ridge traverses, challenging scree slopes, and where remote Berber villages cling to the terraced hillsides.
		While we will tackle the non-technical ascent of Toubkal, a highlight of any trek in the range, our main aim is to pursue a circular route, which will take us into more isolated valleys and across less frequented passes than most walkers will experience on their standard march up Toubkal.
		Day 10: The ascent of Jbel Toubkal (4167m) takes about three and a half hours from our campsite and we aim to be back at the Toubkal refuge for a glass of mint tea with our picnic lunch.
