Klamath County: 5 Things to Do at Crater Lake
Interested in moving to Klamath Falls, Oregon? This city has a lot to offer its residents, especially those who prefer beautiful scenery and outdoor space to cosmopolitan attractions. Let's take a look at five popular activities to do at Crater Lake, one of the most distinctive landmarks near our Klamath Falls homes for sale.
- Hike the Garfield Peak Trail - Crater Lake National Park, Crater Lake, OR 97604
This trail along the rugged outer edge of Oregon's Crater Lake offers some spectacular views of the water, Wizard Island, and the surrounding cliffs. At just 3 to 4 miles or 2 to 3 hours of walking, the Garfield Peak Trail is a relatively short and easy trek, so even occasional hikers can enjoy it. It also tends to be slightly less crowded than the nearby Mount Scott Trail, which offers similar views. You can do the hike alone or with a group led by an assigned ranger from the Crater Lake Lodge.

Buyers: Why You Shouldn't Overlook the Garage
Odds are that your house-hunting wish list includes the location, number of bedrooms, updated kitchen, and maybe a patio. But the condition of the garage may be an afterthought. After all, you'll just use the space to store your vehicles, right? The garage may just be a storage area, but you need to be on the lookout for hidden problems to make sure you're making the right home investment. Whether you're viewing Klamath homes for sale on video tours or in person, here's what you should look for in the garage.
- Parking Space
Storing your vehicles in a garage protects them from the elements and vandalism. You don't want to find out after you've purchased the house that the garage cannot accommodate your vehicles. During your showing or virtual tour, be sure to ask about the garage dimension. If you have larger SUVs, recreational equipment, bikes, or a trailer, knowing the size of the garage is essential. Find out the ceiling height and be on the lookout for beams that could provide extra storage for equipment and sporting goods.
