Most travelers know Morocco for its colorful markets. But on KE Adventure Travel's new Peaks and Valleys of Jebel Sirwa trek, expansive views of the Atlas Mountains are the climax. You'll keep an easy pace on the six-day, 50-mile trek, leaving plenty of time to visit the semi-fortified villages of Berber farmers. By night, you'll camp in grazing pastures. At trip's end, scramble up 10,800-foot Jebel Sirwa, an extinct volcano offering stunning views of the High Atlas Mountains. Trips depart from Marrakesh in March, April, October, and November; $865; keadventure.com
