Daytripper - Summer Edition

Summer/Fall 2011Summer/Fall 2011

We’re back with the summer rendition of Daytripper, a lengthy list of things to do in and around the Klamath Basin. Did we leave anything out? Absolutely! Otherwise next year’s Daytripper will be mighty scant. As with past Daytrippers, this is intended to be your handy companion guide throughout the season. Keep it in your car, with your maps, on the coffee table. Now there’s never an excuse for being bored in Klamath. Happy Daytripping!

Skate at a Skate ParkThe Steen’s Sportspark is home to one of the top city-built skateparks in the U.S. The design features bowls, snake runs, walls and banks for every level and ability. Check out www.KlamathSports.com for more information.

Go Fly a KiteTake advantage of the open spaces and windy Klamath conditions. Kite flying is fun for all and an exciting experiment in aerodynamics.

Play Mini Golf Outdoors

There are serious advantages to having a resort in your backyard. The Running Y hosts events and activities all year long. For a unique outdoor experience, check out their all-natural putting course.

The 18 strategically-arranged holes resemble a scaled down version of a real golf course. A crisp putt sends the ball across a manicured grass surface toward the hole. Stay out of the sand-filled bunkers and avoid water hazards to finish with the lowest score.su

Golf with a FrisbeeDisc golf is a hybrid sport combining Frisbee

and golf. The goal is to navigate through a

course of strategically placed baskets. The

fewer number of throws it takes to land the

Frisbee in the basket, the better. This is an

exciting sport for all ages and skill levels.

Challenge yourself and your friends at Moore

Park. The layout of this course is technically

difficult and meant for average to advanced

players. Or, try the Crest Street Park course.

This is a short 9-holer designed for beginners.

Hike Mount McLoughlin

This is a strenuous 11-mile hike

sure to challenge most outdoor

enthusiasts. Mt. McLoughlin is

nearly 10,000 feet high and spans the

Klamath and Jackson County lines. The trail

starts by winding through forested terrain

and after a mile and a half emerges from the

trees to follow a steep ascent to the top. The

trail can be tricky to follow at times with

expanses of rock and shale, so be sure to hike

with a group. Once at the summit, take in

spectacular views with Medford to the north

and Klamath to the south. The best time to

attempt this hike is late summer. >

Hike in the WildernessVenture away from the city and remind yourself how small it all looks from atop a wilderness peak. Half day or longer hikes are abound in Basin. Here are just a few:

Sky Lakes WildernessLocated directly south of Crater Lake, the Sky Lakes Wilderness trails weave their way through luscious canopy, steep slopes, ridges and hundreds of lakes. Spend a day or a week in the wilderness. There are plenty of campsites along the way.

Mountain Lakes WildernessThe Mountain Lakes trail is located west of Upper Klamath Lake. It is a secluded 18-1/2 mile loop that leads you by a series of glacier-carved mountain lakes. Many of the lakes are stocked with trout, so bring a fishing pole.

Crater LakeMore than 90 miles of trails around Crater Lake take you up mountains like Mt. Scott and down to the shore via Cleetwood trail. The best hiking is between July and September when the snow has melted away and the weather is warm.

Paddle on a LakeCanoeing and kayaking can be meditative or a fitness challenge. Many people do it for sightseeing or bird watching. Whatever the motivation, this is the right place to paddle your worries away. Take the Upper Klamath

Canoe Trail, a nine-mile trip through marsh and open lake that presents fantastic views and prime wildlife watching. Other ideal lakes for canoeing and kayaking: Crescent Lake, Miller Lake, Lake Ewauna, or the Upper Klamath National Wildlife Refuge section of Klamath Lake.

Hire an Outdoor Adventure Guide

Klamath is an outdoor paradise full of adventure. Sometimes the easiest place to start is with an activity led by experienced guides. Leave the planning to someone else and focus on the fun. Hire a guide for any of the following and more:

Set Up a Net in the Yard

Some of the most fun and interactive summer sports require a net: volleyball and badminton. Take the time to erect a net in the yard and play anytime you’re ready.

Go FishWhether you tie a fly, use a favorite lure, or hook on worms, a variety of freshwater streams and lakes in and near Klamath Falls offer a range of experiences and fish. Sections of the Williamson, Klamath, Wood and Sprague rivers, and lakes like Upper Klamath,

Agency, Miller and Odell are fantastic waters where anglers can land rainbow, brook and brown trout, bass, croppies, kokanee, mackinaw and other fish.

Big Game huntYour big game pursuits may take you after blacktail deer in the densely wooded areas of the Cascade Mountain Range, or in search of mule deer in the high desert sagebrush with juniper and pine trees all around. Rocky Mountain Elk are also prevalent in Klamath County.

Controlled hunt tags are limited, so apply early. There are no limits for general season tags.

Southern Oregon has more black bears than any of the lower 48 states. Steep terrain, dense cover and overly abundant food sources provide excellent black bear habitat! Take note though – hunting bears with dogs is prohibited. The Keno Unit, western portion of Sprague Unit and Gearhart Mountain are good places to hunt.

Other popular species include cougar, turkey, coyotes, bobcats and antelope. For turkey hunting, the Keno Unit is open to public access and in addition, some BLM land is available for hunting. Check south of Hwy 66 and west of the Klamath River Canyon to Copco Road.

For complete hunting information, visit www.dfw.state.or.us. ●

Host a Yard SaleReduce clutter, make some money and pass those old treasures on to someone who can put them to use. Take advantage of the warm weather with a yard sale! Here are some tips to get started:

Determine the Size: If you don’t have enough items to host your own sale, get your friends involved. The more varied the selection, the more people you’ll attract.

Plan: Give yourself about three weeks to get ready. Set a time and date, preferably a weekend. Gather supplies like stickers for pricing, markers, and materials for

making street signs. Be sure you have access to tables to display sale items on. Have $30-$50 in ones and fives on hand for quickly giving change. When you’re thinking about pricing, remember the rounder the number, the easier it is to calculate change. Having a calculator on hand can also help.

Advertising: Marketing your yard sale is easy. There are two main ways to attract people: newspaper ads and neighborhood signage. Take out an ad in the newspaper the day before your sale, running through the weekend. Don’t forget to list the date, time and address of your sale. It also helps to list the types of items you’re selling. Post signs announcing the yard sale starting at the nearest main roadway, directing traffic to the sale.ou

lands in the area. After it closed in 1990, the

railroad was deeded to the Oregon Parks and

Recreation Department. And so Oregon’s

longest state park was born. The 100-mile

stretch of railroad was converted into a trail

for the community. More than 7 miles of the

route, from Washburn to Olene, is paved and

ideal for walkers, runners, bikers and inline

skaters.

Retreat to Captain Jack’s Stronghold

In the 1870’s, Captain Jack led the Basin’s

Native American Modoc tribe against

invading white settlers hoping to send them

back to the Klamath Reservation. Captain

Jack and his men took their stand in the caves

and harsh terrain of what’s known today

as the Lava Beds National Monument. The

location was enough of an advantage to hold

off the U.S. Army in their first attack.

Visit www.nps.gov for more information.

While you’re there, stop at the Captain Jack’s

Stronghold Restaurant for food that’s nearly

as well known as the location it’s named for.

Set Up a Pandora Radio Station

Pandora is a free, personalized radio station whose popularity has exploded over the last few years. Based on the concept of the Human Genome Project, Pandora set out to classify songs using hundreds of musical attributes like rhythm, melody, harmony, arrangement and vocals. The result? A radio station that uses your feedback to play only the music you love!

How do you get started? First, sign up for an account at www.pandora.com. They’ll set up your own webpage where you can create multiple stations. Click on “Create a New Station” and choose a song or group to base your radio station on. Pandora starts playing music with the same style as the song you’ve selected.

Refine your new radio station by giving each song a thumbs up or thumbs down. The more feedback you give, the more Pandora learns about your musical tastes. Eventually, you end up with a station that plays only the hits – your hits.
