At the far eastern end of this trail, there's a meadow with three ancient cherry trees that are not long for this world. You're not here for the cherries.
For an interesting detour, walk out onto the "Lyle Convict Road," which typically has some nice early flowers in February and March.
Peak wildflower bloom at Lyle Cherry Orchard is typically from early March through April into early May, but there may be some flowers blooming from mid-February until the end of May.*
