Mazama is a journal dedicated to mountaineering and exploration, particularly in the Pacific Northwest. These early volumes offer a fascinating glimpse into the activities of the Mazamas, a mountaineering club based in Portland, Oregon.

Readers will find detailed accounts of climbs, explorations of glaciers and forests, and observations on the natural history of the Pacific Northwest. The journal also includes articles on camping, equipment, and techniques, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in mountaineering or outdoor pursuits.
