The Wheelhouse
Takeout restaurant
👍 The menu is sandwiches and fast ish type food. The quality is good, flavors basic though. A decent variety to choose from.
The price is almost teetering overpriced for what it is ($17-$20) And to be honest I wonder if more locals would go here if better priced.
The venue is fantastic, smaller cozy c...

Burger Barn
Fast food restaurant
👍 Amazing food. I have come here a lot because of the burgers and shakes. The last time we went, they almost didn’t let us wait for our food inside. Also, they’re schedule is confusing because they are sometimes open and sometimes not. I still recommend this place, for the burgers and shakes are delic...

Lake Siskiyou Trail Parking
Hiking area
👍👍 Very nice peaceful trail! Wasn't to super busy (I went on a sunday) there is RV parking here. We walked around to the bridge, went a little further then turned back because we didn't look at the Map so I wasn't sure if it looped back around but very much worth it

Castle Dome Trailhead
Hiking area
👍👍 Saw the Crags on the way to a different hike, which ended up being inaccessible due to snow, so we turned around and did this one. GET THERE EARLY! We had to park at the bottom, and hiked up Bob’s Hat trail to meet the Crag Trail. This adds two miles to the trip and another 750’ to the hike over all...
