Mazamas – 125 years of of climbing, hiking, and protecting the mountains of the Pacific Northwest

We are on a trusted, yet exciting, new adventure. A vote to change the bylaws has us on the trail, happily headed to Basecamp. Members have empowered our leadership team to make decisions that better meet the needs of a broader, more diverse community and help the organization return to a robust bottom line.

We are as ever, committed to inspiring a love of mountains for future generations. The election results brings an even greater focus to this mission, and we are eager to continue and enhance our classes, programs, and activities.

Please bear with us as we work to update our website to reflect the elimination of the glaciated peak requirement for membership.
