Soda Mountain Wilderness
Directions
The Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument and the Soda Mountain Wilderness is
located immediately north of the California/Oregon border near Interstate 5.
The easiest access is Hwy 66 near the town of Ashland, Oregon.
Scattered parcels of private land are interspersed with monument lands and at
times the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail passes through private lands
with permission of the land owners. Please stay on the trail when passing
through private land.
Hiking is one of the best ways to explore the Soda Mountain Wilderness Areas'
ecological diversity. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail provides the
easiest access for day hikers and is the only designated trail in the
monument. A hike along the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through
oak woodlands, old-growth ponderosa pine and Douglas-fir forests, grasslands,
and ceanothus-filled shrub-lands. Cross country exploration by foot or on
horseback is allowed in Cascade-Siskiyou NM and the Soda Mountain Wilderness.
Please follow Leave No Trace principles.
Stay Limit
Because the primary purpose of this location is to provide a primitive experience within an undeveloped natural setting, there may be challenges to accessibility.
