The Mountains Look On Marrakech

A Trek Along the Atlas Mountains

After an initial visit of three months to the Atlas Mountains in 1965, well-
known travel writer, climber and photographer Hamish Brown has been back every
year since and this book is something of a love story about one man’s
lifeflong devotion to the Atlas Mountains and the Berber Highlanders.

Hamish makes light of what was a complicated and notable journey with endless
passes, gorges and peaks taken in. With his wide knowledge of the Atlas and
careful planning, the journey was kept in steady flow despite the many
hazards, but it is the man cameors of description, meetings with villagers,
entertaining folk tales, etc which will beguile the reader and surely make
this one of the classic stories of modern adventuring.
