Sections of the Journey - Jesus Trail v3.0
The Jesus Trail is divided into separate journeys (J) which in sequence make up the entire route. For example, hiking J1 to J8 in order will take you from Nazareth to the Mount of Beatitudes, or multiple journeys can be linked together as day hikes. The return loop option includes J20 to J25, beginning at the Arbel Cliffs and ending back in Nazareth.
