The window
Autumn mountain nights drop fast while the plains stay warmer by day.
October heat in Marrakech can trick the bag. Up near Imlil and over the higher roads, the air turns sharp after sunset. The same day can ask for light linen at lunch and a fleece by dinner.
Practical
Keep the mountain layer in the day bag, not buried for the coast nights. You will want it on the first ridge walk.
Prepare
Closed shoes earn their place on the Atlas days. Sandals that work in the medina feel thin on cool gravel after dark.
