ALG-121, Gate of Tin-Aboteka, Tin-Aboteka
Area. 6.2 meter span (measured) and 15 meter height (estimated). From
the Tin-Tazarift official campsite (see ALG-32),
climb down the big sand dune (north) and cross the bowl. The trail passes
by ALG-47 (Collapsed Tower Arch) and ALG-33
(Airlock Arch), and then continues north and leaves the reef. Once outside,
the trail goes along the reef side (always north) and you can see ALG-27
(Big Boulder Arch) 100 meters away on the left if you pay attention. Hike
45 minutes across flat gravel and then outcropping slick rock (north)
to the Tin-Aboteka site. This trail is difficult to follow but keep in
mind that you always walk along the reef of Tin-Tazarift on the left and
low rock masses on the right, which are the beginnings of the Tin-Aboteka
reef. I call these rocks "Little City of Rocks." Later, you
enter the deep part of the reef of Tin-Aboteka by going through the Gate
of Tin-Aboteka, a splendid "Arc de Triomphe." |
