The Touchet Valley Trail's terminus at the Columbia County Courthouse would focus visiting trail users' attention on a number of Dayton's historic attractions, including the Dayton Depot, Caboose Park and the Smith Hollow Schoolhouse. The plan suggests building a retaining wall alongside the rail west of the trestle, to prevent further degradation of the rail bed and provide a safe separation for trail users.
