    A few years ago, we did a family Summer trip to the Klamath. It is one of the most stunningly beautiful, natural parts of the West. This was before the dam removal was finally approved, but we still saw so many species of birds and mammals (including bears) around the river.

    Looking forward to revisiting the area once the water is restored and the fish have returned.
