Trail description

Jordan Trail section 101 (24.4 km, about 8 hours, rated difficult) starts at the basalt ruins of Gadara in Umm Qais above the Sea of Galilee and heads down towards the dam to Tel Mazraa at the water's edge. It follows the south side of the reservoir, climbs to the farmland around Zabda, then drops through Wadi Darraba and Wadi Quseiba and crosses Wadi et Taiyiba to Ziglab Lake. The lower half gets hot later in the day, and the association recommends a local guide.
