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. .
