Cora Johnstone Best was born in Minnesota and became a medical doctor. She and her husband, Dr. Robert Best, ran a private hospital in Minneapolis whose work included medical care for Native American children. Their home in Minneapolis, "Sundance Lodge", became a meeting place for outdoor enthusiasts, poets, and scientists. Best was a public speaker as early as 1918 and an advocate for physical education.

Best credited a postcard she saw as a child of an alpine lake. For her interest in mountaineering.

In 1920, she climbed Mount Assiniboine. And joined the Alpine Club of Canada. In 1922, Best founded the Minneapolis chapter of the ACC and was the first female head of an ACC chapter, at a time when prejudice against women participating in mountaineering was high.

In 1922, Best was hired as a public speaker by the Bureau of Commercial Economics. (BCE), a non-profit film distribution organization.

Best passed away in Minneapolis in 1930 following a lung infection that she had developed during a climb in Switzerland. Shippam worked as a painter and printmaker in Bulingame, California.
