We drove to O-re-gon one summer

To get away from the noisy city

We found it so re-lax-ing

So thought I'd write this little ditty.

Was told Klamath Falls is a nice little town

In the foot hills of the Cas-cades

We thought we'd like to visit this town

A falls ~ God must have made.

The Chamber of Commerce, we did go

The lady there had maps galore

Of different things that we should see

As you can see, the falls was almost "never more".

What falls there were, was in the river

LINK RIVER was it's name

It flows thru, the west side of town

Known as the shortest river, is it's fame.

This river links Klamath Lake to Lake Ewana

There the head waters of Klamath River begins

Thru canyons and forest of beautiful trees

West ward to the Pacific Ocean, it descends.

One other place was marked on the map

North of Klamath Falls - called CRATER LAKE

A huge open crater, a mile down to water's edge

How much beauty can your eyes intake?

It has a rim road 'round the crest

Where people stop to view the scenes

All God's mak-ing for us to see

One awesome sight that's to be seen.

CRATER LAKE has an island ~ WIZARD ISLAND

Sits in the sky blue waters, as you can see

CRATER LAKE is our National Park

Oregon has only one~it's grandeur will always be.
