Klamath Falls is
a lovely town in Southern Oregon. After spending so much time in the major
California cities, it was nice to slow things down to a mosey, meet a few local
photographers, and enjoy the beautiful scenery that the area offers in
abundance.
Sunday was the Klamath Falls Photowalk – back to backphotowalks make me sleep like a rock, by the way – and we had a wonderful
time. The downtown area of Klamath
Falls features some really cool Art Deco architecture,
stylized modern construction, and peaceful parks. We had a small group which really helped me
get acclimated in the slower pace and high altitude (I forgot just how much
being at 4,000 feet will reduce your energy)!
Day two in Klamath Falls
was packed with amazing natural locations.
We started at sunrise and made our way – with several gorgeous stops – to Crater Lake National Park.
Fortunately, I picked up a hat and a pair of gloves on the way, because
there were still several feet of snow on the ground up there! Next we moved on to the Rogue River Gorge for
incredible rapids and an amazing breakfast at Becky’s (best biscuits and gravy
ever)! Photowalk leader, Brian Gailey,
designed a wonderful, 200 mile scenic loop for me to get the full area
experience.
Now, after two fantastic days in Klamath
Falls, OR I’m on the Coast
Starlight up to Portland. Despite keeping incredibly busy during my
time in Klamath Falls, I’ve
assembled some of my favorite photos from the Klamath Falls Photowalk and my
day of sightseeing for your enjoyment.
Thanks again to Brian Gailey of Brian Gailey Photography andDesign for planning an excellent photowalk itinerary, being my chauffeur and
tour guide for two days, and for making Klamath Falls
such an amazing and memorable experience.
I’ll definitely be back that way someday!
