Looking forward to scenes like this coming up on my Seeley-Swan Valley photography workshop in western Montana! During mid October, the larch or “Tamaracks” depending on where you’re from, turn brilliant gold and orange hues illuminating the valley floor and providing awesome backdrops like the one you see here. The valley sits nestled between both the Swan Mountain Range and the Mission Mountains, both equally dramatic and usually snow capped this time of year. If you find yourself in western Montana this October and looking for a little solitude, the Seeley-Swan won’t dissapoint!
