Red Buttes Wilderness, Federal wilderness area in Siskiyou Mountains, Oregon and California.
The Red Buttes Wilderness spans 19,940 acres across the Klamath and Rogue River national forests, with elevations ranging from 2,800 to 6,740 feet.
Native American groups, including the Dakubetede Indians, traveled and hunted along the Siskiyou Crest section starting approximately 8,000 years ago.
The designation as a wilderness area in 1984 established strict preservation guidelines to maintain natural conditions and limit human interference.
Hiking trails throughout the wilderness connect to the Boundary National Recreation Trail, offering paths through dense forests and past mountain lakes.
The rock formations contain high amounts of iron and magnesium, creating distinctive reddish-orange peaks formed from ancient ocean-bottom sediments.
