Packing Up for Mt. Toubkal

Up, up and away! Hiking Mama taking off on another adventure, this time dragging Hiking Daddy along for the ride...

Destination: Mt. Toubkal (4167m) It is the highest mountain in North Africa. The trek to the summit is challenging but non technical. We drive to Imlil a remote High Atlas village to begin.

Mount Toubkal Ascent 
 
Gear: Confused about what to pack...Doesn't seem to be as strenuous as the Haute Route, certainly not as long. Snow has melted, as of two days ago. Weather forecast high 80s by day, lows 60s in the evening. So far have boots, 2 pairs of socks, blister repair shop, sunscreen, hat, poles, water pouch and toothbrush...contemplating gloves, hat and rain gear...still can't bring myself to even look at trail mix since the july haute route hike!
 
Stay tuned to see what I packed, for daily updates and pics!
