ALG-10, Shelter Arch, Tin Itinen Area. 2.5 meter span, 3.5 meter
height (estimated). From Tamrit hikers bivouac area, take the same route
as for ALG-8 to the flat area. Choice of trails
can be very confusing in this gravel area so check with your guide. There
are four different trails from there. One goes to Tan-Zoumaitek and the
Big Horn Fresco rock art location via ALG-9 near
the Great Canyon of Tamrit. Another trail goes to Tin-Aboteka via ALG-146
and ALG-147 (see Map
1). Two alternative trails go to the Tin-Itinen and Titeras-n-Elias
areas. The shortest trail is used by hikers only. If you travel alone
you take the donkey trail following the guide, the donkey driver, and
the donkey caravan. Described here is the donkey trail to Tin Itinen:
Once on the flat area bear east on the animal tracks along some isolated
rock masses containing some light rock art. After about 3 km the trail
enters a low canyon. Go through this canyon and after about 30 minutes
the trail emerges into the fabulous rock spire forest of Tin-Itinen. Cross
it following the primitive trail east and then NE until you reach a long
corridor of rock. The arch is located on the side of the trail in the
middle of this corridor. There is a similar arch behind this one. |
