Siskiyou Summit (el. Convert|4310|ft|m|0) is a mountain pass in the Siskiyou Mountains in the U.S. state of Oregon, just north of the California border. It is the highest point on Interstate 5 and has some of the steepest interstate grades in the U.S. [citeweb|title=Interstate 5: Interesting Facts|url=http://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/COMM/interstate50_I5.shtml |publisher=Oregon Department of Transportation |accessdate=2007-09-26|abbr=on] The pass is also crossed by the Central Oregon and Pacific Railroad, originally the main line of the Oregon and California Railroad. It was bypassed by a shorter and less steep route via Klamath Falls, known as the Natron Cutoff, in 1926.
