シスキュー郡のおすすめライド

Starting the Castle Creek Road climb you'll ascend into dramatic Northern California scenery, with incredible close-up views of Castle Crags' granite spires and often glimpses of majestic Mount Shasta. Be prepared for varied gradients; while the overall average might be moderate, expect some demanding pitches well over 10%, hitting ramps of 15-20% in short, tough sections that will require significant effort.

The Siskiyou Mountains in Southern Oregon and Northern California are beautiful, rugged, and remote. While the Bigfoot Trail passes through here and uses many of the existing trails and roads. However, due to the remoteness of the area there are some sections where you will need to use a map, compass, and your orienteering skills in order to find your own path between trails. In this particular spot, there is not a defined path connecting the Bigfoot Trail as it crosses Grayback Road. You may find hints of old logging and fire roads that can be helpful in these areas, just be careful not to follow them blindly and double check with your maps so you don't end up off trail.

Sisson Meadow is a hidden-gem right in the heart of the town of Mount Shasta. This 7.5-acre Nature Preserve has a lovely wooden boardwalk trail through the meadow with plenty of benches to admire the views of Mount Shasta, Mount Eddy, Black Butte and Castle Spire. There are also picnic areas and public art installations.

The Mount Shasta City Park is a small, attractive urban park in the town of Mount Shasta. There are walking trails, benches, and Big Springs, the headwaters of the Sacramento River that flow through the park. This is a great place to spend the afternoon exploring or to tack on to the nearby Spring Hill if you're looking to add a few extra miles to your hike.

Great views, be careful on the way down, lots of big potholes and loose gravel.

Half-mile trail to the mouth of Hedge creek into the Sacramento River. About halfway is the beautiful waterfall. Easy, wide trail. Water fountain at the gazebo near the start.

Attractive waterfall in just a half-mile distance from the trailhead, just before it flows into the Sacramento River. Best at spring/early summer flow, it thins out later in the season. Cool Cave behind the falls.

Large lake east of the Trinity Alps, with excellent loop trail and surprisingly decent water levels so far.
