Canadian Rockies in Autumn
The Canadian Rockies play host to the some of the most spectacular landscapes in North America. A place where jagged mountain peaks reflect into glacial waters, and breathtaking vistas surround us. Our Photo Workshop will allow you to explore your creativity, connect with nature, and enjoy all the peaceful beauty that the area has to offer,
This 5-day / 5-night photo workshop is designed for the traveler who enjoys both nature and comfort. We will be based out the historic Post Hotel in the village of Lake Louise, which positions us well for all the photo locations in Banff National Park, Yoho National Park and Kootenay National Park. The autumn season in the Canadian Rockies is filled with dramatic color - from golden leaves to glacial waters, dramatic canyons and peaceful lakes.
