Enjoy thousands of acres of public lands!
Klamath County, Oregon is breathtaking in the
winter.
Come here for all your snow sport activities!!!
Can you imagine how wonderful it is at Crater Lake
National Park in the winter with up to 25 feet of snow on the ground?!!
Plus there are thousands of acres of public lands...all just waiting
for snowmobilers, cross-country skiers, downhill skiers, snow boarders,
snowshoers, ice skaters, ice fishermen, and dog sledders to explore.
There are over 600 miles of groomed trails, a ski resort and untold
hundreds of miles of soft powder trails for off-trail explorers to
revel on. For the most adventuresome, there is snowmobiling the Pelican
Butte Crater– a precipitous, heart-stopping ride! Call us and
we’ll hook you up with our skiing clubs and snowmobiling clubs...
they’ll be glad to show you around. Ask us, too, about the GREAT
resorts that will warm you up and feed you when you’ve exhausted
yourself from pleasure!
You will be amazed by the diversity and drama of
Klamath Basin vistas.
With all of our snow, we still have sun break
through the clouds almost every day of the year! Click here for
