Thanks to the incredible efforts of our Public Works team—and our newest snow plow—Everitt Memorial Highway is now open to the public (up to Bunny Flat gate). Crews have been working around the clock to clear the roadway and make it safe for travel, and we’re excited to announce it’s ready to go.
As always, please drive carefully and be prepared for changing conditions at higher elevations. And stay tuned for updates as work continues on Castle Lake Road and other areas across the county.
Huge thanks to our road crews for making access possible after a very snowy season!
The Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors has submitted a formal letter to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) expressing serious concerns about the increasing impacts of gray wolves on the local agricultural community.

The Board urges CDFW to prioritize action that balances conservation with the protection of rural livelihoods.
