Mark Oliver created his film, Where Is Our Water From, in 2013.

The film is the story of the Mt. Shasta’s most precious resource and is filled with interviews of local scientists, healers, Native Americans, artists, conservationists, ranchers, activists, ecologists, and sportsmen. The film can be appreciated as a powerful, cautionary tale on the need for any community to carefully steward this priceless, life-giving resource, but it is also a stirring record of a community’s love, reverence and care for Mt. Shasta’s water.

So, what has changed about our water since Mark made this film?

Rediscover the beauty and knowledge presented within the film and hear Mark talk about the current state of our waters in light of his observations made over a decade ago.

“In the late 1800s, local tavern owner and outdoor guide Justin Sisson built a trail from town to timberline on Mt. Shasta for climbers aspiring to reach the summit.

Known as the Sisson Southern Trail, it was used by nearly all climbers – including John Muir – until the early 1950s when Everitt Memorial Highway was completed to the timberline on the mountain.”

These lines are from an article Jack Moore wrote for the Mt. Shasta News in 2020. Jack is an expert on most things related to the mountain as well as an accomplished photographer and writer.

Michael Zanger founded Shasta Mountain Guides in the late 1970’s and has written multiple books and guides about the mountain.

Join us for an unforgettable evening hosted by Jack and Michael as they delve into the history of our mountain, Mount Shasta.
