Klamath
A steelhead fishing center, this is a
growing town, which has based its economy on hosting
visitors: with jet-boat trips up the Klamath River,
camping and RV parks and attractions, including the
Tour-Thru Tree (south of town) and a Paul Bunyan theme
park called Trees of Mystery (north of town).
Trees of Mystery includes a large
gift shop and the End-of-the-Trail Indian Museum, holding
one of the nation's largest collections of Indian
artifacts, including masks, jewelry and woven baskets.
Don't be misled by the garish nature of the entrance to
Trees of Mystery. It's a very interesting place with an
educational trail through the woods. A restaurant is
located across the highway.
Klamath is a good place to stay when
visiting Redwood National Park. It's at just about
the center of the park.
The town has long been a favorite place for
campers and RV owners to camp near the shoreline. Roads
are often lined with RVs, parked for weekend activity.
The year 2000 saw the Parks Service moving to eliminate
the popular parking spots. Tourists are angry, and the
local business people are even angrier. While there is
still parking along the roads, the Park Service intends
to eliminate it over the next few years.
