Wild Nature Tours: Photo Workshops to some incredible destinations

Fall Workshop

Sept 10 thru Sept 18, 2011


Fall is another magical time in Yellowstone. The landscape is going thru a transformation animals are out and about getting ready for winter.


This workshop is in some ways a little more intense than the winter workshop, since all the park roads are open this time of year will be on the move, spending just two nights at each location. We will travel thru Lamar Valley, the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, Old Faithful, The Beartooth Mountains and Grand Teton National Park.


This workshop will provide great opportunities to make images of Bears, Moose, Bison, Wolves, Elk, Pronghorn, Pikas, Mountain Goats, Big Horn Sheep, and some great scenic vistas.
