The Canadian Rockies contain some of the most impressive mountain scenery in the world. Jagged peaks rise above azure glacial lakes and soar into intense blue skies. Mountain streams cascade over boulders and valley lips creating impressive waterfalls. Reflections of mountain scenery in the bodies of water create beauty at every turn. We'll photograph at the magic times of sunrise and sunset below snowcapped peaks, and at lakesides everyday. Travel with an area expert who knows exactly where to be to get the best photos.
Includes
- 5 nights accommodations.*
- In-depth photo instruction and leadership from a professional photographer and area expert.
