Looking for somewhere new and exciting to photograph magnificent fall colors in Arizona this year? Then we invite you to spend the weekend exploring brilliant displays of fall color in the little-known Escudilla Wilderness Area along the Arizona-New Mexico border near the community of Alpine.
Colleen will guide you through expansive groves of aspens, gambel oaks, and evergreens surrounding the 3rd highest peak in Arizona, the Escudilla Mountain, as she uncovers her favorite locations and shares special techniques for capturing stunning images of fall colors in various lighting conditions. This exclusive workshop is limited to just 8 students.
The cost for this all-inclusive workshop includes roundtrip transportation from Phoenix, two nights lodging at the rustic Mountain High Lodge in Alpine, all meals and snacks, and hands-on, individualized field instruction in a small group setting.
 Here's the itinerary:
Day One
* We'll meet at our departure point in Phoenix at 11 am to load gear.
* We will provide a sack lunch.
* Upon reaching Alpine, Arizona in late afternoon, we'll enjoy photography near Husley Lake and Terry Flat among the colorful aspens, expansive meadows, and scenic views of Escudilla Mountain
Day Two
* In the morning, we'll photograph aspen covered Escudilla Mountain from Elc Flat.
* We'll spend the remainder of the morning photographing aspen stands along the east side of Escudilla Mountain.
* Mid-day will feature a critique session where we'll review students' images.
* Late afternoon and evening will find us in the glowing stands of aspens along the Escudilla Trail and scenic vistas from Toolbox Meadow along the Escudilla, requiring a short 2 mile moderate round-trip hike.
Day Three
* We'll start the morning near Terry Flat to get sunrise light among the colorful aspens and expansive meadows skirting Escudilla Mountain.
* After breakfast, a second critique session will be held to review more students' images.
