Spend a tailored day with a Park City-based photographer exploring the Wasatch: lakes, meadows, mine roads and alpine light. Learn composition, camera settings, and field techniques while discovering lesser-known viewpoints.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Dawn breaks over jagged ridgelines as you follow a local photographer up a quiet service road—light sliding across meadows, aspens catching the first cold like scattered coins. The air is thin and sharp; the mountains seem to urge you forward, each ridge daring you to find the frame that says, "this is here now." This private workshop runs about eight hours from Park City and is tailored to your interests and fitness, moving between lakes, streams, high plateaus, and wildflower fields.

Shoot during golden hours
Start early or stay late—soft light in the first and last hour of daylight yields the best contrast and color for alpine scenes.
Layer for rapidly changing weather
Temperatures and wind change quickly at elevation; a light insulating layer plus a waterproof shell keeps you shooting longer.
Bring extra power and storage
Cold and long exposures drain batteries fast—carry spares and ample memory cards to avoid missed shots.
Respect wildlife and private property
Keep distance from deer and elk and follow the guide’s route; many good vantage points sit on or near private land.
Interchangeable-lens camera
A DSLR or mirrorless body with wide and mid-tele lenses gives flexibility for landscapes and close-ups.
Sturdy hiking shoes or boots
Good traction and ankle support help on uneven service roads and alpine trails.
Extra batteries and memory cards
Cold and long shooting sessions drain power and storage—bring spares to avoid losing shots.
Layered clothing and waterproof shell
Temperature and weather shift quickly in the Wasatch—layers let you adapt without missing a shot.
