Living in Klamath Falls, Oregon
Oregon’s City of Sunshine and volcanic grandeur.
The High Desert Gem
At 4,100 feet, Klamath Falls is the urban anchor of Oregon’s high desert. Where the Rogue Valley is lush and green, the Klamath Basin is a vast landscape of golden rimrock, freshwater marshes and Cascade peaks.
Known as “Oregon’s City of Sunshine,” it is a sanctuary for people who value wide-open space. From wetlands that host the largest bald eagle population in the lower 48 to volcanic caves just across the border, it is a launchpad for explorers.
