The river
The Upper Klamath on the Oregon-California
border offers the best summer whitewater on the West Coast. It
features a concentrated dose of big rapids and roller coaster waves
in a river gorge of wild scenic beauty. It is on the Pacific Flyway,
a major migratory route for a wide variety of wild birds like eagles,
falcons, ospreys and herons. This is an exciting river run. Paddling class
4 and 5 rapids is a team activity that requires some effort. You must be
physically fit, have good stamina and be a competent swimmer.
