COLORADO WILDLIFE PHOTO WORKSHOPS
September 20-27, 2020
August 5-12, 2021
September 20-27 Photo Workshop: This photo workshop focuses on photographing the wildlife, wild horses and birds of two Colorado wildlife regions, the wild Sand Wash Basin and Rocky Mountain National Park. The Sand Wash Basin is a remote area that is wonderful for Wild Horse photography and features Mule Deer, Pronghorn and a variety of birds. Rocky Mountain National Park is excellent for Moose and we should be able to find them with babies this time of year. It's also very good for Bighorn Sheep, Elk, Pika and a variety of birds. This time of year should be particularly good for photographing this year's young animals. We will also visit the Rocky Mountain Arsenal near Denver which is good for Bison, Mule Deer, Bald Eagles and other birds.
Cost and Logistics: $3,950 with a $500 single supplement. The deposit to secure your spot is $1,100. Balance is due 30 days before the trip. The arrival and departure city is Denver, where we will spend one night on arrival, besides that we will be in small towns and out in wild country so we won't have a lot of interaction with other people. Cost includes all lodging, transportation during the workshop, instruction, guiding and park fees. It does not include meals and transportation to and from Denver. If anyone would like to drive their own vehicle during the workshop they are welcome to.
