Monument Designation
BLM
Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument
The Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument (CSNM) was
established by presidential proclamation of President
William J. Clinton on June 9, 2000 in recognition of its
remarkable ecology and to protect a diverse range
of biological, geological, aquatic, archeological, and
historic objects. The CSNM is part of the BLM’s
National Conservation Lands, preserving some of
America’s most spectacular landscapes. In 2009,
the Soda Mountain Wilderness was designated by
Congress, enhancing the protection of over 24,000
acres in the southern portion of the Monument.
Camping
Developed camping is available at the Hyatt Lake
Campground on a first-come, first-served basis. Dispersed
backcountry camping is permitted throughout the
Monument. Backcountry campers are asked to camp
in existing sites and to use Leave No Trace principles.
Dispersed camping is not allowed in Research Natural
Areas, riparian and wetland areas, and archeological,
cultural and historical sites.
Access
The Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument is situated
where the Klamath, Siskiyou, and Cascade Mountain
Ranges converge, setting the stage for a unique mixing
of diverse habitats in a small area. CSNM is the first
monument set aside solely for the preservation of
biodiversity.
There are numerous access points into the monument;
most are found along State Highway 66 east of Ashland
and the Old Siskiyou Highway north of Ashland. Green
Springs is a popular starting point for many visitors. From
U. S. Interstate 5, take exit 14 at Ashland and head east on
Hwy 66 for 17 miles until you reach the community of Green
Springs. Information is available at the CSNM self service
contact station located at the intersection of Hyatt Lake
Road and Highway 66 in Green Springs.
Trails
Safety
While set aside for its objects of biological interest, visitors
are welcome to explore the monument. One of the easiest
ways to explore CSNM is via the Pacific Crest National
Scenic Trail (PCT) that runs some nineteen miles through
the Monument.
The area is largely undeveloped and contains few
established trails and numerous marked and unmarked
roads. Watch for oncoming traffic on one-lane stretches.
Unimproved roads may only be accessible to high clearance
or 4-wheel-drive vehicles. Exploration of the Monument can
require special planning and an awareness of the potential
hazards. Depending on the type of trip, bring a good map,
a compass, sun protection and plenty of water, food, and
gasoline. Always let someone know your itinerary.
Location
Weather
From October to April, the Cascades and the Siskiyous
wring moisture from Pacific storms, resulting in snow
covered mountains in the higher elevations (above 3500
ft) to rain in the valleys. Snow can blanket much of the
Monument’s mountains well into May, limiting access to
popular trails such as Pilot Rock, Hobart Bluff or parts of
the Pacific Crest Trail well into late May or early June.
Winter weather can vary greatly across the Monument,
due to the diversity of aspect and elevation of the terrain.
From May - September, rainfall tapers off and a drying trend
begins with warmer days. Summer months are normally
warm and dry with daytime mountain temperatures
reaching the 80’s - 90’s in mid-summer, while night time
temperatures cool down to the upper 40’s-mid 50’s. Lower
elevation south facing exposures have been known to
reach 100 degrees and above some years.
Regulations
Cross-country travel by bicycle or vehicle is prohibited.
With limited exceptions, the removal of any monument
features or objects is prohibited. Possessing or using
mechanized or motorized equipment such as ATV’s,
game carriers, generators, wagons, carts, or bicycles is
prohibited in the Soda Mountain Wilderness. Special
recreation permits are required for organized groups.
Please contact the district office for permit information.
Private Lands
Private lands are found within and surrounding the
Monument. Please respect and avoid private property
when exploring the Monument.
Hunting
Hunting is a popular activity in the Monument. Hunting is
regulated by the Oregon Depart of Fish and Wildlife.
