OverviewThe Siskiyou Mountain range is a subrange of the Northwestern Klamath Mountins of California and the Southwestern portion of the Klamaths located in Southwestern Oregon.
The Siskiyous form an arc just East of Crescent City, CA for about 100 miles and terminate in Jackson County. More SoonWhat's In a Name?The most popular version of how the Siskiyou Mountain Range got it's name is from the Cree Native American word for Bob-tailed Horse. Back in the early 1800's (1820-1830), A.R. McLeod was in the area with the Hudson Bay Company expedition and brought along with him some of the Cree people to assist in the expedition. The story has it that McLeod's horse, while crossing the Siskiyou pass died, an thus the Siskiyou Mountain Range was named. Or so the story goes, there are multiple variations to the naming of the Siskiyou range, but most of them are similar to that.Siskiyou Mountains at a glancePosted here will be pictures of the mountain itself, summit views or views along the trail of each mountain. For ease, I will title the photo with the name of the mountain only. If you wish to see who took the photo, then please click on the photo itself.
