Klamath Falls on a summer day<\/strong>
\nKlamath Falls, Oregon, elevation 4,099 feet, sits at the southeast end of Upper Klamath
\n Lake in a high desert landscape. It has a population of 20,840 – 2010 census. Altamount, an
\n unincorporated community of 19,257, shares the southeast border of Klamath Falls’
\n city limits. The older part of the city is located above natural geothermal springs.
\n These have been used for the heating of homes and streets, primarily in the
\n downtown area. Downtown Klamath Falls is home to three entertaining and
\n informational history museums<\/strong><\/a> along with historic murals and buildings.<\/p>\n

Klamath Falls, sitting in the rain shadow of the Cascade Mountains, features a climate
\n with cold snowy winters along with hot summer afternoons and cool summer nights.
\n Typical of its region, Klamath Falls has a dry season in summertime,
\n with the greatest precipitation occurring in wintertime, much of it falling as snow.<\/p>\n

Amtrak, the national passenger rail system, serves Klamath Falls, operating its
\n Coast Starlight daily in both directions between Seattle, Washington
\n and Los Angeles, California. Crater Lake – Klamath Regional Airport<\/strong><\/a>,
\n located about six miles south of the town center, as of June 2014 has no
\n commercial services. At the airport is also Kingsley Field Oregon Air
\n National Guard Base. The 173rd Fighter Wing currently flys F-15 C\/D variants.<\/p>\n

Ross Ragland Cultural Center<\/strong>
\nThe Ross Ragland Theater<\/em> is a 790 seat year-round, multi-cultural, multi-disciplinary
\n arts center serving South Central Oregon and Northern California. The theater, with
\n near-perfect sight lines and acoustics, provides the perfect venue for a wide
\n array of touring performing artists as well as local productions.
\n The Ragland Cultural Center<\/em> has two studios, over 1000 sq. feet each, a commercial
\n kitchen and walk-in cooler adjoined by an atrium and restroom facilities.
\n The Cultural Center has been used for weddings, holiday parties and most
\n recently for the Ragland Cultural Center Series<\/em> performances. The theater,
\n studios, lobby and auditorium are available for rent.<\/p>\n

It was a broad-based Klamath Basin community effort that renovated the 1940 Art
\n Deco styled Esquire Theater<\/em> into the Ross Ragland Theater<\/em> heralding
\n the rejuvenation of the Klamath Falls downtown area. Extending the city’s
\n geothermal line to the Ross Ragland<\/em> encouraged the municipal use of
\n renewable energy. Most importantly, community interest in the performing arts
\n was revived. Today, The Ross Ragland Theater and Cultural Center<\/em> serves,
\n educates and inspires over 100,000 individuals annually.
