Road Trips:
The first question asked by many visitors and newcomers to Klamath Falls, is "Where are the falls?" The query often meets with a blank expression from local residents who aren't sure how to respond. Depending on the time of
year that can be a tough question to answer.
The Cascade volcanoes are the star attraction from any viewpoint along the West Coast, and 14,162-foot Mount Shasta is the king of them all in the central coast region. Its snowy crown can be seen from nearly any hilltop between Redding, California, and Crater Lake National Park. While you're at it, see if you can pick out Lassen Peak, Mount McLoughlin, Mount Scott, or the Three Sisters.
Wildlife, particularly waterfowl and raptors, are abundant throughout Klamath and Modoc Country. Migratory waterfowl number in the millions during spring and fall months. Bald Eagles are relatively easy to spot during the late winter months. For the best wildlife viewing begin your drive or hike just as dawn breaks.
You'll find fire lookout towers at some of the viewpoints. During the summer season when the towers are occupied, visitors are welcome to climb to the top and look around. In the off-season, climbing on the towers is discouraged.
Plan for a full day of birding from Klamath Falls, up the western side of Upper Klamath Lake, and into Crater Lake National Park.
