Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument was established by President Bill Clinton in 2000. The monument encompasses approximately 53,000 acres (83 km²) in southwestern Oregon, United States.

Native Americans are known from archeological excavations to have inhabited the region for thousands of years. By the 1880's, 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 ecosytems 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.
