Klamath Falls, OR - Wildlife Refuge

On Saturday we took a canoe out to explore the Upper Klamath National Wildlife Refuge. We could leave directly from the dock at our campground and get right onto the canoe trail. It was nice to be on the water. If we had our own kayaks with us we would probably have gone out a couple of times. It was relaxing and reminded us of home. Well, with some slight differences...

First there were mountains on the horizon...one even still had snow...

And the pelicans were white, not brown. The white pelicans are huge - with a wingspan of almost 10 feet. Very impressive.

And, there were beaver dams...and NO alligators! We kept looking and looking, it's funny how you still look for something eventhough you know it's not there.
There are several wildlife refuges in the area, so if you like to fish, kayak, birdwatch, this is a great area to visit.
