Alway a great place to enjoy nature.

Another wonderful hike in the southern Oregon mountains.

Very peaceful place for a hike. I hope it is not on fire

A must see... Great mountain s and mountain veiws...

Its beautiful and peacful to spend a few nights in nature! I loved it!

Beautiful place and always excited to get back to Oregon. Have always loved the area.

God to pricey for me tho go into park to relax and have fun

Beautiful scenery. We had a guide for our group that explained about the unique biodiversity in the monument and taught us to identify some of the more common species of plant. The trail we went on was not difficult, though lots of rocks and things to trip over. Seemed like a good hike for the whole family or the lone hiker.

How could you not like wide open spaces and beautiful scenery to hike and relax?

Fun hike on a portion of the Pacific Crest trail, mostly shaded with a great view at the op of emigrant lake

Natural beauty preserved

Absolutely lovely! Cant wait to get back.

Easy Access to a patch of remote forest

Ugly place. Dont go

Love me some good hiking! Get out and check out the views. But of an ascent but with the climb!

Beautiful hike! Winding narrow two lane Hwy to and from. Definitely want to wear Orange during hunting season. Breathe taking views.

Great hikes and awesome examples of biodiversity! Cool historical stuff involving the Applegate Trail. Get a meal at the Green Springs Inn!

Really unique area with many different, and diverse ecosystems. Some of the best mushroom and deer hunting in Southern Oregon. Also you can find many rare plants and butterflies, salamanders and snakes. Great place to go birding or just hiking on some of the new trails in the Soda Mountain Wilderness area. The ridges in this area are great places to find shed antlers, and the Buck Rock Tunnel trail system passes through many different rare plants communities. A great place to practice your naturalist and tracking skills.

Birds, trees, mountains, it was lovely.

A great place to hike, hunt, explore and discover. Wonderful place just to be.

Good place to relax

Beautiful scenery, but unfortunately I couldnt find a buck to fill my freezer with

Holy cow man its the woods

This is one of the best kept secrets of the State of Jefferson region, that being Nor- Cal/ So Oregon. If you like open prairies tucked into canyons and mountainous terrain, this is perfect!First bit of advice, fuel up before heading off the I-5 corridor!! It can be a bit of a drive between stations, plus fuel in that area can be among the highest cost in the nation so plan ahead. There are a lot of places to explore but I really enjoy this as an alternate way to the coast by following the Klamath River route near the Oregon border.Every place has a negative and this one is the reality that forest fires are an annual issue. I would strongly suggest exploring in the spring or fall to avoid that and make sure you have all types of clothing because you can have frost in the morning but highs in the 85-95 range. Enjoy!!!

Didnt even know I was there

Very good place

After the fire last year it is not as it was. I have been driving on I-5 for over 30 years and have been the best part of the drive in California. The park service is cleaning it up. Hope it grow back soon.

I luv the Siskiyou & Cascades! Ive lived in them, they are a part of my soul! Lots of beautiful lakes! Gorgeous Trees! Many Hiking trails. Make sure you check out Union Creek if your on Hwy 62, the most beautiful camp site ever! kspe

Beautiful area!

Its our national forest what is there not to love

Hiked to top with troop 7 boy scouts lots of fun,bring plenty water, and mosquito repellent a good idea to.

The scenery here is what people picture when they think of Oregon. This area is beautiful. There is a range kiosk located next door to the green Springs inn. Pacific Crest trail passes through this area. Lots of outdoor activities. Several great mountain lakes and springs in the area.

I love camping at lake Hyatt, but it isnt opened until May... cuz snow.

Always a great place to enjoy the wildlife and fresh mountain air, all free for a 14 day limit stay

We hiked for 3 and 1/2 hours on the Pacific Crest Trail in the Cascade Siskiyou National Monument today and it is dreamy! Gorgeous Flowers and perfect hiking conditions this is a real Jewel.

The air is just beautiful.The tranquility of sharing space with the trees is truly relaxing.

Who doesnt like the forest? as long as we can keep the extreme environmentalists from preventing access to it this will remain a beautiful love to place.

It is beautiful out here.

This is such a beautiful place! Its beautiful to stop and eat your breakfast, lunch or dinner, or just to drive through! Mother Nature and all her splendor has a way of replenishing your soul!

Just passing through

Always a beautiful drive thru there. Glad they are fixing the highway by the lake. It was sad to see how much of it burnt this year. Hopefully one day I can really explore the park more

Was nice, stopped a d checked it out for a little bit.

The monument is extremely nice now that there are no more cows wondering around leaving destruction and poo everywhere. However, I spend more of my time inside the Wilderness Boundary where you wont find any cows or vehicles of any kind. Its truly pristine.

Beautiful I wish I would have been able to stay longer

Beautiful scenic drive. The hiking trails are well maintained and easily accessible. Enjoy your hike!

Great hike on a stunning day to Hobart Bluff. What s view!

I love this wilderness with all my heart. Lots of places to go get lost in. Like the good kind of lost.

The alpine forest and grasslands provide refuge for the abundant and diverse plant and animal species that reside here. Take only photos and leave no garbage, for your mother does not work here.

Beautiful view driving by.

Beautiful natural area that is now public lands. Please practice leave no trace while visiting. I noticed a lot of people leaving behind their garbage. Animals, trees, and plants cant clean up after us and our trash isnt nutritional.

Gods beauty was wonderful. My 2 dogs loved it.

Went through there several times in my life and found it to be a wonderful place for kids to enjoy vacations in the beauty of the great outdoors... Its a real pity that Trump and his rubberstamp congress wants to destroy it in favor of their big donors who want to clear cut those beautiful old trees...

Wow! Love the way everything grows out here! Was able to find a private little meadow full of wildflowers to bask in the sun recently. Last time out here, we found some amazing hidden waterfalls and repelled the cliffs surrounding. Hopefully, this area remains protected so that we can keep enjoying it how it is!

Extremely biodiverse. Thousands of acres to explore. Few people seen away from major attractions.

Always a beautiful drive it doesnt matter if youve driven it two thousand times you will always see a different Sky a different color in the landscape always worth the drive

Great views and weather

Beautiful Scenery

Beautiful view for the sunrise!

This was AMASING!! So much to see, and hike, and learn. And its a scant 45 minutes drive from Southern Oregon and barely an hour and 15 minutes from Northern California. Two days isnt even close to enough time. Theyve got great accommodations and camp sites, and even houses to rent for your families comfort. Youve GOT to go!!

Beautiful and well maintained trails.

Keep the monument!!! The PCT through the monument is scenic and well cared for. Nice campsites ...at Hyatt Lake.

Beautiful

Secluded camping and easy access to fishing

Just my opinion here...driving in there are several private residences that want to remain private. Please respect their signs, slow down and be careful and cool. Why a 2 star? Laws, rules, regulations; do this, dont do that, cant you read the signs? Signs, signs everywhere a sign, breaking up the scenery breakin my mind! And the signs said you got to have a membership card to get inside. Anyway, maybe ya heard the song, maybe not, but this is mostly oak forest with the poison kind (no relation), weeds, etc. Dont look for a monument, you wont find one. The PCT wanders through for some nice hiking-dont bring your Mt. Bike though!!!Why again? Many more BEAUTIFUL places in this area so why go here. Also, Im not one for the Gov-Mint taking the forest into their own monument (hands) and making rules for US, WE THE PEOPLE, that is. We have hearts and wisdom within us and when in the forest, it is an opportunity to visit our HONEST and TRUE hearts WITHIN US ALL. Then WE will clean up our own messes, NOT SHOOT SIGNS, use our guns PROPERLY, pick up those casings and targets-ALWAYS!!! Do NOT start a fire!!! RESPECT this WONDER of NATURE. Use that SAPIEN within (and look that up) and remember that this land was made for you and me andall living creatures including the trees! We dont need a government to tell us that. This is innate. Go with your heart. Sorry...ah, the place is OK...

One of the most beautiful places in the USA any time of the year. Stop here. Dont zoom by on your way somewheres else yall.

Clean fresh air it smelled so good

Great views of Mt Shasta on Soda Mountain hike. Terrain is gradual uphill with level trail midway. Spring hiking will delight with many wildflowers.

We had a great time looking for rocks

Picture perfect.Post card like scenery.A great place to take a telescope to look at the stars.

Very beautiful but too much snow for driving

Been going to this area since I was a kid. Great for families, sportsman, and outdoor lovers of all types.

Been here once. Did not hike the trail. Improved, graded dirt road to the parking area. We did it in a Camry, there was a Chevy Volt ahead of us.

Dont ever go here that ran out buy a customer because we ordered our dog food

Beautiful area, windy roads up and down. Was a little odd to see conflicting signs for yes monument and no monument, not sure what the conflict is about.

Gorgeous landscape.

Had a Blast!

Freedom

Great flowers, improved trails on rehabilitated roads. Pilot Rock road is a bit boney, tho.

Unfortunately this was the Siskiyou Oregon mountain top on fire. ...It was contained quickly....

Very nice place

This is a beautiful place but it is NOT a wilderness. Many people live and work in this area.

So nice, trucking review channel YouTube

Beach life..good ocean sound and ventilated air.....

Absolutely beautiful. Time well spent.

Enjoyed it, but I always enjoy hiking and being out in the mountains its is so peaceful and relaxing

Such a beautiful location. There are many trails and off road walks you can take all through the monument. We talked alongside the gorge and it was magnificent out. Many flowers and birds.There are amazing rockscapes, as well as a diverse assortment of trees. Ponds, rivers, and streams all over the places. A fabulous day hike location just outside of Ashland, OR.

Pretty cool knowing when youve crossed the state line

Pretty but limited access.

My wife and I visited the Hyatt Reservoir area today amidst the smokyenvironment from wildfires. Though we were amazed at the diverse conifers, the amount of invasives, seemingly unchecked, through theroadway corridors, were upsetting. It would seem the 2008 management plan has some unfunded aspects in terms of coping with increaseddegradation of native habitat values. I had stopped to ask the parkranger about what I observed but he did not have any direct knowledgeof the native flora though he was very caring about our visitation andindicated where we might spot some osprey habitat.But the roadway in to this lake is covered in tansy ragwort and I hope that officialdom or just some caring individuals that live in this areacan address a growing problem. The weeds were easily pulledwith rootstocks emerging also. I am wondering what is being doneto address this or even if it is acknowledged as a problem by the managers responsible for maintaining the environmental values thatpromoted this protective status.

Beautiful ! Exciting ! And Peaceful !

LoL, Had to pass the hills one more time.

The views of Mt Shasta are spectacular! Beautiful forest, we had a great time exploring with our dogs.

Lots of areas to hike.

Beautiful well kept scenery

Some interesting exhibits

What a beautiful place.

Awesome

Nice views

Great place to hike or cross country ski

I recommend seeing as many places as you can
