Cost: $2,195
Join Kerrick James
for an exploration of the wonder of the northern Rockies,
Glacier National Park in Montana.
Nestled against our nation's northern border is a wonderland
of lakes, high meadows, serrated peaks, and yes, some glaciers
still survive. This wilderness boasts wildflowers and wildlife
galore in summer, and is dotted with startling aqua-colored
lakes and cascading waterfalls that are perfect fare for photographers'
consumption.
Be prepared to do a number of moderately strenuous hikes off
the Going-To-The-Sun Road in order to get to the best spots
for flowers, waterfalls and wildlife. You’ll also venture
up the trail to Grinnell Lake, as well as photographing favorite
locations like McDonald Lake and Wild Goose Island. Our Highline
Trail hike will take us along the west face of the Continental
Divide, affording spectacular views of the park below.
You'll want to bring the whole gamut of wide angle, telephoto
and macro lenses for this varied landscape. We hope to bring
back portraits of bighorn sheep, goats, eagles, and potentially,
the grizzly. You may want to bring binoculars and a spotting
scope, as well as your camera!
NOTE: This workshop will be conducted at elevations between
3,000 to 6,600 feet. We encourage you to take your time getting
acclimated to the location. Be sure to drink plenty of water,
and also bring a hat and sunscreen.
