 Starting in late September, cooler nights touch off a change of seasons along the Grand Canyon's North Rim, and autumn spreads through the forest in technicolor hues. This workshop leads you to the best spots in Grand Canyon National Park and Kaibab National Forest to photograph fall’s bounty.
 Poised on the rim of the Canyon, 5,000 feet above the Colorado River, you'll capture the sculptured temples and chiseled buttes in the warm autumn sunshine. Trees cling precipitously to the Canyon's walls, framing its awesome depths with vibrant golden aspens, red scrub oak and evergreens, giving you some terrific opportunities to photograph.
 As we traverse the rim in search of fall color you'll also enjoy photographing the sculptured temples and buttes seen from Bright Angel Point, the undulating layers of sandstone, shale and limestone found at Transept Canyon and the eroded arch of Angel's Window. Other scenic spots will include the panoramic views from Cape Royal, some 5,000 feet above the canyon bottom, and an overlook near Mt. Hayden from the canyon's highest viewpoint, Point Imperial. Throughout your journey, you may encounter the gentle beauty of an early morning fog slowly dissipating when touched by sunlight. Or perhaps a front will pass through, leaving behind a fresh dusting of light snow or billowy clouds clumped over the horizon.
Sunsets offer a different challenge, as the golden hour light blankets the land with a warm glow, while the canyon's recesses are enveloped in brooding shadows, creating imposing silhouettes.
Join our small group of photographers in this captivating setting to capture some of the most spectacular views Mother Nature has to offer!
