Bill Miesse guides us through four decades of the Northern California and Southern Oregon explorations of USGS scientist J.S. Diller, namesake of Mount Shasta’s Diller Canyon.
Diller’s legacy, starting with Mount Shasta in 1883, is virtually unknown to the general public. Yet his discoveries, publications, and photography literally put the Klamath Mountains on the map, and he directly helped create Crater Lake and Mount Lassen national parks. The talk will include the story of how Diller Canyon was named, and a brief summary of the canyon geology. .
Learn about:
- Volcanoes – Why Do They Erupt?
- What Are The Different Types Of Rock?
- How Are Rainbows Made?
- What Is Groundwater?
- Wetlands – What Are They?

Take an amazing, virtual, trip down Siskiyou Trail. Presented by Angel Gomez.
Angel’s family owned the Upper Soda Springs Resort for over 100 years.
The first recorded ascent of Mt Shasta was made 170 years ago. Tens of thousands of climbers, including two horses, have since succeeded in reaching its lofty singular summit.
Local mountaineer Michael Zanger has climbed and guided countless people to the top for over 60 years (notably, Justin Sisson, one of our early settlers, was also a mountain climbing guide).
Michael is the founder and former owner of Shasta Mountain Guides and has authored historical books on Mount Shasta. He will be joined by Jack Moore, who helped re-establish Sisson Trail, the original route that led from city to summit, and stands as one of the most notable climbs in the country in terms of vertical gain (over 10,000′) in a fairly short distance (about 11 miles).
Join us for this presentation of colorful stories and pictures illustrating the climbing history of Mt Shasta from past to present.
We have two new films showing on our 12 foot screen!
- Rivers: Dreams for Tomorrow
- Lenticulars: Beauty of the Clouds
The evening will be hosted by Bill Miesse
