Always research and plan ahead when exploring Siskiyou. Check the conditions and accessibility of any location before heading out as weather, roads, maintenance, or other factors may affect the status. Additionally, consult with the agency overseeing the land you wish to explore – County, State, or Federal – to ensure you have the most accurate and up-to-date information.
NOTE: Event details and postponements are constantly being updated in light of COVID-19. Please contact individual event organizers for details before making plans.
