Last Minute Hike
The Dude and I have gotten an unexpected oppurtunity to hike, we are hitting the Walls!
Come hike what is known as
“The Grand Canyon of the South”

Hike Distance: 7 miles
Rating:
Moderate to strenuous
Items to Bring:
Hiking time: approximately 5 hours
Meeting time: 9:30 am EST

The name was derived as a result of when a traveling minister had come upon the Walls of Jericho in the late 1800s, and was so captivated by the cathedral-like beauty that he declared it needed a biblical name, and the name stuck.
The hike we'll be journeying on is about 3.5 miles in length, one way, and is downhill most of the route into the gorge. That, of course, means that the hike back will be mostly uphill. It can be a strenuous hike, so wear comfortable shoes and take plenty of water and snacks. The trail is well marked but can also be muddy for days if it rains.

We will travel to the bottom of a 50-yard-wide limestone bowl and look up at 200-foot-tall cliffs on each side.

We will be crossing several streams via some cool little wooden bridges....

Yes it is a awesome hike, I am hoping with all the rain to see water coming into the upper sink.
I just made plans to go backpacking on the Pinhoti this weekend...dang it! I actually was wanting to go camping at the walls! oh well, maybe next time.
May be taking a group of scouts camping this weekend at CCSP on a two hour Trail Maint / Hike tomorrow. Looking iffy though as they haven't shown up to check in yet. If it falls through, will join y'all! This one has been on my 'bucket' list. :)
This is one of my favorite hikes. Have fun!
