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.
Here is a nice view of the cliffs along the Columbia River from the Cherry Orchard Trail.
Climbing up above the river, the trail passes this interesting rock promontory overlooking the Columbia River.
Looking towards the Columbia River you can see how the lack of rainfall prevents very many trees from growing along the Cherry Orchard Trail.
The Cherry Orchard Trail passes along this nice area that looks perfect for viewing the Gorge.
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.
Lichen covered oak trees line parts of the trail above the Columbia River.
Near the cherry orchard are some nice views of the nearby cliffs and the Columbia River.
A nice view looking east into the Columbia River Gorge from the Cherry Orchard Trail.
Looking across the Columbia, you can see some trees holding on to their fall foliage in November.
An oak tree frames this view looking west into the Columbia River Gorge.
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.
A few puffy clouds look almost like snow on the hills along the Columbia River Gorge.
The trail is a fairly narrow track and can get muddy on rainy days.
A small pond along the Cherry Orchard Trail provides a watering place for small animals and insects. Oak trees reflect on the still surface.
