The name was adopted in 1965, referring to Raymond T. Zillmer [1887–1960] and his son John, “the only persons known to have ascended the creek of the same name”
Zillmer was an American attorney, mountaineer, and conservationist who made a number of explorations in the Cariboo Mountains in the 1930s and 40s.
Thorington stated that Zillmer and his son in 1947 made the first crossing from “Tête Creek to Canoe River, thence to the N. Thompson and out to Gosnell (C.A.J., XXI, 21). A glacier heading in the only large lateral branch of Tête Creek was named Gilmour Glacier.”
