It is a very important region for Morocco because it has one of the last population of Barbary macaques in the world, the Park has to be more widespread and protected in the near future

We arrived at Ifrane National Park yesterday around noon. Ifrane is home to about 25% of the Macaca Monkeys in Morocco (about 1000). We planned a hike to try and glimpse them and as we entered the park there was a group being fed by a roadside vendor. Naturally, we didn’t get a glimpse of them on our 9 km hike along The Monkey Trail, but we did see some impressive tracks in the mud. The hike was through a towering cedar forest. I was able to identify several new birds and along with their noisy chatter in places, it was a very serene place. I liked the park enough to make it a two day stop.
