ALG-202, Little Pass Arch, Salihohen Pass Area. 7 meter span (estimated).
From Djanet and In-Abarba follow the 4WD tracks northeast into a large
oued (wash). Then drive Oued Telegui to the start of the trip in Oued
Djewat, located 17 km from Djanet. Consult a guide to know how to get
here. From the end of the tracks hike upstream approximately 2 hours through
hills of stone. Then leave the Oued Djewat and climb a little gully (left)
for about 15 minutes to the top of the hill with numerous granite boulders.
Climb down the hill into a drainage until another major oued is reached.
Follow this oued northeast for 1 hour or more to a junction with a wash
coming east. Climb up this wash to the east. There are several dry falls
formed by granite boulders to negotiate (sometimes difficult for a donkey).
Continue on the trail eastward and ascend a ravine to a little pass, approximately
1.5 hours from the junction (see photo on Map
8 ). The arch is located on the side of the trail to the left (the
trail is visible in the background of the photo). Total hiking is about
6 to 6.5 hours, depending on the progress of the donkeys on the harder
parts of the trail. |
