Hike ‘n Pull at Lyle Cherry Orchard
Join Friends of the Columbia Gorge Land Trust at this scenic preserve for a “hike and pull” work party that combines vistas, hiking and stewardship all packed into one awesome morning! We will hike about a mile up the trail to the wildflower meadows and focus on preserving meadow habitat by removing patches of the infamous east Gorge weed, yellow star thistle.
Physical description: expect hiking up to 2 miles roundtrip on a steep rock and dirt trail, ~800 ft elevation gain. Hand pulling includes walking off trail in grassy fields on sloped and flat terrain, bending and pulling. Find out more about the Lyle Cherry Orchard Trail HERE.
Site info: This amazing trails also is home to poison oak, ticks and snakes, oh my! We’ll review how to steward safety in the introduction. The closest public restroom is in Lyle at the Klickitat Trail Trailhead and Parking Area.
