The Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument holds both outstanding natural as well as cultural significance. Among the prominent natural features of the monument is Pilot Rock, a volcanic neck similar to Devils Tower of Wyoming. Soda Mountain Wilderness is a wilderness area within the national monument located adjacent to the California state border.

The cultural significance of Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument lies in the remains of some 100 prehistoric Native American dewllings and root-gathering sites within the monument, chiefly by the Modoc, Klamath and Shasta tribes. These tribes were uprooted by the arrival of white settlers to the area in the 1880's.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
