Hytop is a tiny Alabama town that's located in Jackson County. Because it has a population of less than 500, not many people are even aware of its existence.
Most of the people who are aware of Hytop's existence love the outdoors because the town is located just south of the scenic Walls of Jericho, which is considered the "Grand Canyon of the South."
In addition to the Walls of Jericho Trail being scenic, it's also one of Alabama's most difficult trails to hike. Don't let this stop you though. As soon as you reach the waterfall, you'll realize the hike was quite worth it.
The next time you're in the mood for a hike, consider visiting Hytop. The entire town is beautiful and scenic, but there's something extra special about its nearby Walls of Jericho and accompanying trail.
