Spring Creek Grade (6/7)

List item
Approved

This is the Spring Creek Grade, north of Klamath Falls about 45 miles. The creek for which this is named is behind the camera about a half-mile and it is more of a small river than it is a creek. The river is delightfully cold all year long and I can’t begin to estimate the number of rainbow trout and brook trout I’ve caught out of that river in my lifetime.

Beyond the trees on the right flows the Williamson River. Spring Creek is a tributary that flows into the Williamson less than a mile from where this camera is situated.

Just out of view because of the fog, there is a turn on this road and the upgrade begins, rising about 1,000 feet in about 5 miles of highway. This is all prime deer country, with just enough black bears and cougars to make things interesting.
