Walls of Jericho Trail in James D. Martin Skyline Wildlife Management Area
The Walls of Jericho Trail offers a striking and immersive hiking experience. Starting from the Alabama trailhead, the hike is characterized by its challenging descent into a gorge framed by towering limestone cliffs. Along the way, hikers traverse various creek crossings, pass through a historic cemetery, and witness the area's unique limestone formations and seasonal waterfalls. The trail culminates at a natural amphitheater where Turkey Creek emerges dramatically from the base of the bluff. #Hiking #Gorge #River #Waterfall #Forest #Nature
