About this activity

We will visit at least three locations for photography in iconic Rocky Mountain National Park for the afternoon golden hour and sunset. I have traveled extensively in search of amazing photographic locations, and it is hard to beat Trail Ridge Road high in Rocky Mountain National Park.for the wide variety of views and photographic locations.

I will show you great locations, and make suggestions on composition and subject matter. I can even help you with your camera settings if you are a beginner. After sunset. we will take a brief break for a snack and to get set up for night photography while we wait for the Milky Way to emerge.

Don't have a RMNP entrance reservation? (new this year) No need! My commercial use permit means we don't need an advance permit!

NOTE: all locations are above 10,000' elevation!
