Getting Here Tips

When flying into one of our closest airports, Redding Regional Airport, (RDD) and Rogue Valley -Medford Airport, (MFR,)  make sure to take advantage of mileage programs and airline membership perks to get the most for your money. Google Flights has a setting that can even monitor your trip and let you know when prices drop.

If travel by air is not your cup of tea, you can also get to Siskiyou by the Coast Starlight train route, which runs up and down the west coast from Seattle to Los Angeles and stops at the Dunsmuir Station daily. Travel by train is such an affordable and scenic way to travel! Dunsmuir does not have a ticketing kiosk, so make sure to purchase any tickets online in advance.

Once you arrive in by train, or if your road trip vehicle is not properly equipped, you can pick up an adventure ready AWD vehicle from Mt Shasta’s Road Trip Ready Rentals. This one stop shop will rent you a vehicle and outfit you with outdoor gear and camera equipment to make the most of your time in Siskiyou. Kayaks, Bike Racks, Coolers, Tents and Sleeping Bags, they have it all!

Stay and Save

Rest your head at one of one of our charming local hotels that offer some extra perks. A stay at The McCloud Mercantile Hotel includes credits that you can use at Spill the Beans coffee shop or White Mountain Café on site. LOGE Camps in Mt Shasta has free events for guests, exclusive gear rentals and on-site fire pits and grills, perfect for the mountain town atmosphere. You can also fuel up for a day of fun at the Holiday Inn Express in Yreka on the house! They offer a free hot breakfast buffet for guests daily.

Fun = Free Refills

Lastly, Siskiyou offers endless natural landscapes, history, plant and wildlife viewing that is all free to experience! Pack a picnic out to a waterfall like Hedge Creek or McCloud Falls. In winter months, check out ice skating at Shastice Park, sledding at Snowman’s Hill or in Summer, catch some free live music at the Mt Shasta Summer Concert Series or Yreka Summer Concerts In the Park, or just relax and enjoy the views of Mt Shasta from one of the many viewpoints around the region. (hint: Wagon Creek Bridge on Lake Siskiyou!)

Pack your bags and remember that an epic vacation doesn’t need to cost you a fortune!
