Overview
The M'Goun mountain, also rendered as Ighil Mgoun / Ighil M’Goun / Irhil M’Goun, Ighil n’Oumsoud, Jebel Mgoun, Jebel Ighil M’Goun and Jebel Aït M’goun, at 4,071 metres is the third highest peak of the Atlas Mountains after Toubkal and Ouenkrim.
Description
While crowds flock to Jebel Toubkal, nature lovers head to the M’Goun Massif, where pristine, prehistoric landscapes and some of Morocco’s highest peaks make for rewarding challenges for trekkers. Nevertheless, this walk will suit all grades of trekkers, including families.
If you’re going in spring, dress warmly and be prepared to get your boots wet: walking river gorges is one of the great pleasures of M’Goun. The M’Goun Traverse follows one river up to its mountain source, crosses the mountain range, and then follows another river down into its valley.
