I spent four days in June driving and hiking prominence peaks near Klamath Falls in Southern Oregon and Northern California. The weather was unsettled but I had the peaks to myself and saw a black bear and wild horses.

Swan Lake Point, Stukel Mountain, Hamaker Mountain, and Yainax Butte each have at least 2000 feet of prominence and are located near Klamath Falls in Southern Oregon. On June 1 I visited Swan Lake Point, Stukel Mountain, and Hamaker Mountain summits on my drive towards Northern California. I expect most people passing through the area give these peaks little notice. Forest roads lead to or near these summits from which one can get good views of this volcanic part of Oregon.
