The question isn't "what" you're going to do here. It's more "how do you do it all?". You could spend years exploring Siskiyou County's south-county destinations like Mt. Shasta, Dunsmuir, and Weed. But you don't want to miss the western gold country of Yreka, Etna, Fort Jones, Happy Camp and Klamath River. Or overlook the the beauitful northeastern destinations of Tulelake, Dorris, Butte Valley and the Tule Lake Basin. Fortunately, we're here to help. But we expect you to do your part (by returning often).

Artists and creative folks have long sought the inspirational beauty and contemplative lifestyle found in Siskiyou County, and the funky, energetic arts scene is always worth exploring.
The history of Native Americans in Siskiyou County traces back approximately 7000 years, although the oral history extends thousands of years further. Some practices (such as subsistence fishing for salmon on the Klamath) are still maintained today, and the rich Native American history in the county is alive and well.
The Siskiyou County is haven for hundreds of bird species - and a destination for bird watchers too. Klamath River wetlands host masses of waterfowl migrating along the Pacific Flyway, but many other areas offer rich - and year-round - birding opportunities.
The old West lives on in Siskiyou County, where cattle still graze, and working ranches and farms dot the landscape. In fact, your drive along a rural road might be happily delayed by a cattle drive to new pasture.
Six free-flowing rivers in Siskiyou County include the world-famous McCloud, Upper Sacramento and Klamath Rivers - and a handful of smaller (though not less beautiful) flows. Whether you plan to fish the crystalline Upper Sac or simply dip your toes in the heart-stoppingly scenic McCloud, we've got a river for you.
