apologize for any inconvenience, but interest in this presentation was
extremely high! Check our website in the next few days for a video

The Three Sisters, once known as Mount Multnomah, rank among the most diverse of Oregon’s volcanic centers because of their composition and past eruptions. They also harbor a high potential for future eruptions. Join Ellen Bishop Morris, noted geologist, author, and photographer, for a talk on the geologic history of the Sisters and Whychus Creek. Ellen will discuss the geology of the Three Sisters region and the early volcanism revealed in Whychus Creek’s lower stretches.
