Creation date / 2012 / November
- The trail is a fairly narrow track and can get muddy on rainy days.
- The Harms Road Trailhead is up on the prairies between Klickitat and Goldendale. The nearby hills catch the early fall snows and the windswept grasslands offer little shelter.
- The Fisher Hill trestle showing the new railings along the trestle that were installed during the deck construction process.
- The Fisher Hill trestle has been redecked by Klickitat County and was opened on Jan. 6, 2011. This is about 2 miles from the Columbia River.
- The Cherry Orchard Trail passes along this nice area that looks perfect for viewing the Gorge.
- Starting down into Swale Canyon the rocks and reflective pools of water make a nice setting.
- Near the cherry orchard are some nice views of the nearby cliffs and the Columbia River.
- Midway through Swale Canyon the trail is mostly well packed with just a few 100-yard patches of loose gravel.
- Loose rock tumbles down the canyon walls but seldom reaches the trail.
- Looking towards the Columbia River you can see how the lack of rainfall prevents very many trees from growing along the Cherry Orchard Trail.
- Looking down Swale Canyon you can see the gentle curves and easy downhill grade of the old railroad.
- Looking across the Columbia, you can see some trees holding on to their fall foliage in November.
- Lichen covered oak trees line parts of the trail above the Columbia River.
- Just a bit uphill from the trailhead is this sign for the Cherry Orchard Trail. It is easy to walk farther than the 2 miles indicated on the sign.
