Siskiyou Wilderness, Federal wilderness area in northern California, United States.
The Siskiyou Wilderness extends across 182,802 acres through three national forests, featuring mountain peaks, deep valleys, and old-growth forests with elevations from 770 to 7,309 feet.
The California Wilderness Act of 1984 established this protected zone with 153,000 acres, later expanded by 30,122 acres through the Northern California Wild Heritage Act of 2006.
Native American tribes maintained a strong connection to these lands before European settlement, utilizing its natural resources and leaving their mark in the name Siskiyou.
Visitors can explore the Clear Creek National Recreation Trail, spanning 20.5 miles across the northern section with an elevation gain of approximately 5,000 feet.
The wilderness harbors the endemic Brewer spruce and provides habitat for rare species including wolverines, martens, northern spotted owls, and Roosevelt elk.
