Klamath Overlook

One of the most spectacular views is 600 feet above the river mouth. Bald Eagle, American Kestrel, Common and Pacific Loon, Red-necked and Western Grebe, Surf Scoter, and Black-legged Kittiwake are some of the birds. The common Murre and Pigeon Guillemot are seen in the breeding season. The overlook is alive in the spring with Allen's Hummingbird. May to June is when to watch for migration of Black Swift among Vaux's Swift. The best place to see seals, sea lions, and whales is on the bluff. The ancestral territory of the Yurok people is 40 miles upriver. They are the largest tribe in California with continuous possession of their aboriginal lands and still have the right to fish for salmon.
