Native Americans are known from archaeological excavations to have
inhabited the region for thousands of years. By the 1880s, they had been
completely replaced by white settlers, whose mining cabins still dot the
region. The Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument has one of the most diverse ecosystems found in the Cascade Range. 200 species of birds are known to exist in the monument including some threatened and endangered species such as the Great Grey Owl and Peregrine Falcon. Interesting features in the monument include Pilot Rock, which is a volcanic neck or interior of an extinct volcano, similarly formed as Devils Tower in Wyoming, and the Soda Mountain Wilderness Study Area. |
