Museum Events

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!

• Lenticulars: Beauty of the Clouds

The evening will be hosted by Bill Miesse
