Welcome to the Mazama 2012–2013 season of evening programs, from October through April. Our shows are free and open to Mazama members and the general public. We do appreciate a voluntary contribution at the discretion of each attendee. Thank you for supporting our successful series by your regular attendance.

The Mazamas Program Committee hosts evening slide programs.  These programs are free and both members and non-members are welcome to attend.  Programs begin at 7:00 pm, and are held every Wednesday from early October through late April.  During the program season, a full description of each show is printed in the Mazama Bulletin and will be posted on this web page.  While scheduled programs almost always keep to this schedule, there are occasional cancellations and last minute switches.  It can be a good idea to contact the Mazama Mountaineering Center at 503-227-2345 to confirm these shows beforehand.  Please scroll down this page for more detailed show descriptions.

Tea, Yak Butter, Rhodies and Waterfalls: Hiking In Western Yunnan Province
Wednesday, November 14
Western Yunnan province and the Three Parallel Gorges Region offer virtually unlimited opportunities for hiking and exploration. In May 2011 Heather Erickson and a friend spent five weeks in this remote and undiscovered part of China, often off-road and on-trail. Ostensibly in search of blooming tree rhododendrons (over 250 species are endemic to the region) they discovered as well, a region marked by rich culture, natural beauty, and modern challenges.
