The height of the canyon walls can vary, but in some places can be up to {{convert|400|m|ft|0}} high.[1] DescriptionThe last {{convert|600|m|ft|0}} of the Todgha gorge are the most spectacular. Here the canyon narrows to a flat stony track, in places as little as {{convert|10|m|ft|0}} wide, with sheer and smooth rock walls up to {{convert|160|m|ft|0}} high on each side. During the dry season, the canyon floor is mostly dry; at most there will be a small stream of water. During this time, the wadi floor is easily traversed by travelers. During the rainy season, however, the Todra can expand massively, covering the canyon floor in a strong torrent.[1] AccessThe area is no longer as remote as it once was. A well-maintained asphalt road leads up the valley from Tinerhir to the gorge. A concrete road continues up the valley, past the hotels at the mouth of the gorge all the way to the villages of Aït Hani, and Tamtatouchte. Thanks to its robust rock sides with many uneven surfaces, Todgha Gorge is popular among rock climbers. More than 150 routes rated French Grade 5+ to 8 have been bolted in the canyon.{{Citation needed|date=October 2017}} Film appearancesThe Todgha Gorge was featured on the premiere of the American reality show Expedition Impossible.{{Citation needed|date=October 2017}} It was also featured prominently in a 2012 advertisement for the Cadillac CTS.{{Citation needed|date=October 2017}} References1. ^1 2 {{Cite book|title=Natural Wonders of the World|publisher=Reader's Digest Association, Inc|year=1980|isbn=0-89577-087-3|editor-last=Scheffel|editor-first=Richard L.|location=United States of America|pages=385|quote=|editor-last2=Wernet|editor-first2=Susan J.|via=}} External links{{commons category}}
