Date de création / 2012 / Novembre
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Looking down Swale Canyon you can see the gentle curves and easy downhill grade of the old railroad.
- Lichen covered oak trees line parts of the trail above the Columbia River.
- Continuing to climb above the river, there are nice views to the west. One lone oak tree holds onto its leaves late into the year.
- An interesting looking green bug walks very slowly in the chilly weather near the cherry orchard. This must be a tough bug to withstand the freezing nighttime temperatures.
- The Fisher Hill trestle showing the new railings along the trestle that were installed during the deck construction process.
- Climbing up above the river, the trail passes this interesting rock promontory overlooking the Columbia River.
- Looking across the Columbia, you can see some trees holding on to their fall foliage in November.

- Midway through Swale Canyon the trail is mostly well packed with just a few 100-yard patches of loose gravel.
- The Cherry Orchard Trail passes along this nice area that looks perfect for viewing the Gorge.

- The trail is a fairly narrow track and can get muddy on rainy days.
