The Sisson Callahan National Recreation Trail can be accessed from Deadfall Meadows Trailhead or Bear Creek Trailhead. Both trail access points have hike-a-bike ascents, multiple stream crossings, flowy and technical descents, and world class views. The downhill ends at the North Fork of the Upper Sacramento River which must be crossed and then meets a fire road which takes riders down to Lake Siskiyou. Lake Siskiyou is 3 miles from downtown Mt Shasta.
