Linda's Trail is a short, easy hike in southern Oregon, about 1.3 miles from Klamath Falls. The route is a low-effort out-and-back, roughly 0.68 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 79 feet from a low point of 4,672 feet to a high of 4,707 feet. The climb is gentle, with the steepest stretch at about 4% grade near the 0.29-mile mark. Summer and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Klamath Falls put July highs around 86°F with only a couple of wet days, while September runs near 77°F with lows in the upper 30s. The hike takes about half an hour, and Ridge Trail starts just 0.1 mile away. Southie, Cutter and Lakeview are all within 0.3 mile. For climbing, Cougar Rock Boulders is about 5.3 miles off.
