I understand from several postings in various threads here that the
best time to cross the Siskiyous comfortably is early or late in the
day.

1) What would be the best time to cross in the late afternoon or early
evening?

2) Would it be okay to cross about 3 hours before sunset?

3) What is the weather like between late September and early November?

Thanks


I/ve been by Shasta a few times -- all in clear wx. Watch the winds
aloft and the ceilings and wx systems. The Weather Channel is a good
overall reference here.

Stay on the windward side of Shasta and the other mountains and postpone
the trip if you have aloft winds above 15 kt.

High winds can result in mountain wave conditions, which tend to be
smooth and add updrafts on the windward side of mountain ranges, but can
make SEVERE turbulence on the lee sides. Lenticular clouds indicate
mountain wave conditions. Watch out for the rotor clouds on the lee
sides.
