Montana, Bitterroot Valley
Oct 2021, Dates TBA
Price: $525.00
The Bitterroot Valley is one of the most spectacular fall locations in western Montana nestled just beneath the towering snowcapped Bitterroot Mountain range. Each fall its landscapes are transformed into brilliant golden hues and vibrant colors throughout the valley. The Bitterroot Valley is located just south of Missoula, Montana and is a rich corridor of farm and ranch lands, wetland habitat, and also home to the famous Bitterroot River. Our workshop will focus on both landscape and wildlife photography and we will spend time photographing the rich valley colors, and different mountain peaks around the valley. We will also spend time photographing wildlife and migrating birds in and around the Lee Metcalf National Wildlife Refuge which is one of Montana’s premier birding and wildlife management areas. The workshop will be based out of Hamilton, Montana, located 45 miles south of Missoula.
