2. Applegate Trail - Campt Marker
A wonderful view of the Applegate Trail that slopes down this hill. The T marker is on top of the hill by the former telephone pole. It needs to be mentioned that Lower Klamath Lake was once much higher in water elevation before dams were built in the early 1900s. This has allowed Dorris Brownell Rd to pass through here when at one time the road was covered by lake water.
