Gray whales migrate just offshore along the California coastline as they travel from Alaska to Baja California, a 10,000-mile round trip journey. The best time to view these 45-foot marine mammals are December/January and March/April. The Klamath River Overlook is a prime spot from which to observe the gray whale migration.
