Moose calf

Wildlife

Whether it is a moose calf in the spring, a flower-bouquet wielding pika in the summer or a bugling elk in the fall, we know where to take you for maximum wildlife viewing in Rocky Mountain National Park. 

Rocky Tour Options

We customize the tours based on your goals and expectations. Passionate about sharing our knowledge of the park, we will take you to the best places to photograph and observe wildlife and jaw-dropping scenery. As each tour is customized for you, the tour can be focused on just wildlife or be a combination of goals. The night sky tours are the exception, as these tours focus exclusively on photographing the brilliant skies above Rocky Mountain National Park set against the beautiful scenery of the area.

Northern Lights

The solar cycle has reached maximum, and that means the coming months will be the best of the 11-year cycle. Join us in the frozen tundra of Alaska to witness this amazing specatacle of nature near the Arctic Circle north of Fairbanks, Alaska.

Yellowstone Wildlife

Called the Serengeti of North America, Yellowstone National Park offers endless opportunities to photograph wildlife. In winter, these animals are at their prime for photographs, with thick winter coats and clean frosty landscapes. Now you too have
a chance to experience this unique winter wonderland.

Snowy Rocky

Rocky Mountain National Park’s glorious landscapes of high peaks and vast meadows appeal to all photographers. Add a blanket of white to the scene, and images become frosty wilderness. This weekend workshop will give photographers an introduction to exploring Rocky in winter.

“In short, Dawn is cool. As a photographer, she’s off the charts. As a person, she’s an enthusiastic supporter and coach, flexible and works hard to ensure you have an awesome experience. I believe she was more excited, when we captured a good shot or figured something out than we were. She helped us with our gear, patiently explained (and re-explained on a few occasions) techniques for landscape and wildlife photography and taught us a lot about our cameras.”
