About this map

Pacific Crest Nat Scenic Trl winds through this high-altitude landscape of Siskiyou County, tracing a path through the Siskiyou Mountains. The terrain is defined by a series of distinct peaks including Kangaroo Mountain, Red Butte, and the Middle Devils Peak. These summits overlook a network of alpine waters such as Hello Lake, Elk Lake, and Goodbye Lake, which feed the drainages of the Middle Fork Applegate River and Seiad Cr.

Remote outposts and clearings like Cameron Meadow and Elk Meadow indicate the seasonal use of the area, supported by established sites such as Hutton Campground and Cook and Green Campground. Natural landmarks with idiosyncratic names, such as Jackass Spring? and No-See-Em Camp, speak to the region's character for hikers and foresters. The presence of Ponytail Falls and Horsetail Falls near the E Fork Seiad Cr further highlights the dramatic elevation changes found within this section of the national forest.
