The Walls of Jericho were named for a bowl-shaped canyon of rock that shoots water out of holes and cracks in the rock wall during heavy rains. It is part of a 60,000 acre tract once owned by Texas oil baron Henry Lee Carter. When he died in 1977, the Walls of Jericho were sold and closed to visitors.
