If you hear someone discussing the Walls Of Jericho Trailhead, they're most likely referring to a 7.5-mile out-and-back trail that's located near Belvidere, Tennessee, on the border of both Tennessee and Alabama.
The trail is accessible year-round and features clusters of wildflowers in the springtime, a forested trail, and ample room for bird watching and backpacking.
The Walls Of Jericho Trail isn't highly trafficked, so you'll most likely have the natural experience to yourself.
Alabama shares the trail with Tennessee, and about three miles into the Walls Of Jericho trek, you'll meet the Alabama trail.
Make sure you wear proper footwear and prepare for a bit of slippery mud and rocks around the last mile. Note that much of the trail is shaded as well. Watch for bugs, and bring water!
Locals recommend the trail not only for hiking but also for trail running and swimming at the foot of the waterfalls and in the surrounding streams.
The Walls Of Jericho is a popular hiking trail and camping area for a reason, shared in kind by two naturally beautiful southern states. You can hike for yourself from dawn to dusk.
