TRIP DESCRIPTION
Ah, Colorado! A paradise for nature enthusiasts and photographers alike, where every season offers a unique canvas of breathtaking beauty. I'm thrilled to share my insights on capturing the awe-inspiring landscapes of Colorado during its most photogenic seasons: Fall and Spring. Whether you're a seasoned photographer or a budding enthusiast, these seasons offer an unparalleled opportunity to enhance your skills while soaking in nature's grandeur.
Fall in Colorado is nothing short of a visual symphony. The Aspen trees don their golden attire, contrasting vividly with the evergreen pines and the cobalt blue skies. The landscape is a cascade of warm hues—gold, orange, and red—that seem to have been painted by Mother Nature herself.
We will start our journey in the town of Montrose. We will be traveling by vehicle everyday to different parts of the San Juan Mountains and surrounding areas . The sunrise is an event that we will capture everyday and some of the most stunning sunsets you will witness.
If we are lucky we will be able to capture some of the wildlife. There are elk, moose, fox and birds.
The trip is limited to 6 photographers
