I was thinking about exploring the Bridgestone Firestone, Scott's Gulf area but cant find much on it. Anyone have photos or trip reports.
I have this website but it is a bit dated

Has Jericho been vandalized? I've only been there once, but it was relatively "new" when I went. Jan 05, I think.

Re: Wall of Jericho...

Last time I was there is was not vandalized, but there were everyone and their grandma trying to get to the bottom of the trail. It was almost sad, I mean HOT and with no water, flipflops and perfume....sad, we could bearly make it back to the walls with sturdy boots and poles from the steep sided trail back there and the slippery caky mud. Worst of it was there was a group of necks down there one of which, shirtless, was carrying a large wheeled wal-mart cooler full of ice and beer 2+ miles down the hill. later the next day they put their bug spray which was inside two large bags of trash on their fire while they made way to the walls, needless to say it blew up threw the trash everywhere and nearly started their tent on fire. We used their melted ice to put it out. It was a scene, scared the life out of everyone. Dusty and I tried our best to clean up the garbage left around the campsites including a few bags of dead snakes. So it was a bit necky. And I dont think I will return unless it is a weekday.




Anyhow anyone with some fotos of Scotts gulf?
