There's never a bad time to explore the expansive natural scenery around Klamath Falls, but the summer months provide an excellent opportunity to explore some of the area's more elevated mountain trails. Fortunately, you don't have to travel far to find beautiful views in Klamath Falls. Our real estate agents have details on five elevated trails around Klamath Falls.

1. Hogback Mountain Trail – Klamath Falls, OR 97603
   Though a large part of Hogback Mountain is privately owned, many areas, including the Hogback Mountain Trail, are open to hikers. The Hogback Mountain Trail is a 3.5-mile, out-and-back trail that presents a significant challenge and rewards your efforts with spectacular views. With over 1,700 feet of elevation over just 3.5 miles of trail, this is one of the steeper trails on the list, so be aware while traversing some of the more challenging sections.
