About Weather
Weather can range from a low of 35 F at night to a high of 80 F during the day. There will be a definite chance of rain during our workshop.
Important things to keep in mind:
• Bring clothing suited for a variety of temperatures, from cold mornings to warm afternoons. Also be prepared for potential rain and for changing weather.
• We will be photographing from 4000 to 6000 ft elevation. Normally, the only problem you can expect is a slight shortness of breath. However, the higher elevation is something to keep in mind if you live at sea level or you are prone to encountering physical difficulties at higher elevations.
A deposit is required to secure your spot on this workshop. All payments are due 30 days prior to the workshop.
