PHOTO WORKSHOP - Havasupai

with Kerrick James
May 15 - 19, 2008
with Peter Ensenberger
November 16 - 20, 2008
Cost: $2,295

Day One

  • We'll leave Phoenix promptly at 7am.
  • We will make a stop at the Grand Canyon Caverns Inn to pick up a few participants and sack lunches
  • We'll arrive at Hualapai Hilltop by 12:30pm.
  • After we fly down to the village of Supai, we'll board our horses and travel to the campground for dinner and a sunset shoot if possible. Camp will be along picturesque Havasu Creek, under shady cottonwoods. Some may choose to sleep fully outdoors but we'll also have spacious tents available. Hammocks, hot showers, sleeping bags and more are also provided.

Day Two

  • We concentrate on Havasu Falls today. We'll shoot first light on cliffs over the falls, then shoot through the day as the light changes. We'll return to the campground for meals, as well as a midday teaching session by the photographer.
  • Later in the day, we'll explore the Grotto at Navajo Falls, a tiny piece of Hawaii in a desert canyon.

Day Three

  • Today will be spent at Mooney Falls for those who wish to make the trek. The trail descends through the cliff face to the base of the falls, and persons with vertigo are encouraged to photograph from the top of the falls. Everyone else will be just fine with our assistance. Great views from above and below!

Day Four

  • Morning will likely find us back at the main portion of Navajo Falls to shoot first light on the cliffs.
  • The remainder of the day will be spent back at Havasu Falls, along the creek and other scenic spots.

Day Five

  • We'll have an early breakfast and morning shoot.
  • We'll ride to Supai, have lunch at the Café and helicopter back out of the canyon at approximately noon. We'll hopefully be back in Phoenix by 8pm.

Bring lots of lens tissue, lens cleaner, and sunscreen. And don't forget batteries, as we won't have access to a place to buy spares!

STRENUOUSNESS:
This workshop is considered moderately strenuous. There will be some hiking in deep sand between the waterfalls, as well as a steep descent to the base of Mooney Falls. Most people should be able to manage, but the workshop is not especially friendly to anyone with knee or hip trouble. Our advice is to take your time getting to the locations and to drink plenty of water. Our office staff can tell you more.
