Description

At mile 10.9 is the Harris Homestead. There is a dilapidated farm house and dilapidated farm buildings.

This area is currently being used for farming. The farmers used to live here, but now they live in The Dalles and drive here when needed. There are several farm fields and a building with some farm equipment like some irrigation and fencing stuff. On a typical day, a pickup or two will drive from the trailhead to here, do some work, and then drive back.

Horses are allowed only to here. Beyond, only hikers and bikers are allowed.
