2026 Colorado Fall Color Photography Workshop

Highlights:

• 3 Full days and nights in the Colorado wilderness
• New shooting locations each day
• 4×4 excursions into the remote mountains
• Wildlife Opportunities

Our style:

First of all, our workshops are for ALL LEVELS OF EXPERIENCE! You should not at all feel intimidated to join us! Truly.

As with all of our workshops, we put a preference on creating an overall experience versus a traditional photography workshop. That is not to say that we do not teach — during the workshop we spend a lot of time with customers who are trying to grow their photography craft. But first and foremost, we want to provide you with an experience that you won’t forget, and we excel at this.

What’s included:

• Lodging
• Transportation
• Getting you to and from the airport
• *Breakfast + dinner each day, cooked by chef Trigg

What’s not included:

• Gear
• Flights
• Lunches/snacks

Itinerary:

WNC Photo Tours will be offering group shuttles from Montrose Regional Airport (MTJ) on Sunday, September 27th to our homebase Airbnb in Ridgway, CO. We’ll all be sharing 3  vehicles during the duration of the workshop. Of course you have the option of using your own transportation to meet us in Ridgway.

On the night of September 27th, we’ll all convene in Ridgway and have dinner together, getting to know each other and discussing the exciting details of the following three days! We’ll retire to the cabin the night of the 27th and the workshop will begin on the morning of Monday, September 28th!

Each day we’ll likely shoot sunrise and sunset, with a little downtime in between.

We want to remain flexible and shoot when and where the conditions best serve us so we won’t be laying out an exact itinerary for the workshop.

The workshop will end the night of Wednesday, September 30th, we’ll stay one more night at the cabin. For those who need it, there will be a shuttle offered back to Montrose to get participants back to the airport on Thursday, October 1st.

Don’t be intimidated!!

All skill levels are welcome at our workshops. Can’t stress that enough! The less you know about photography the more you will walk away with, and the better the experience will be for you, so don’t be shy. Photographers are generally pretty nice people 🙂

Conditions

Colorado can get downright cold during fall! We would not be at all surprised to see snow during the workshop (We’re secretly hoping for a little snow). You’ll want to bring plenty of warm layers including hats and gloves.

Activity

This is one of our more laid back offerings, with minimal hiking. Most of the locations we will visit will be totally accessible by vehicle. That said, the workshop days are long so show up rested and ready to go!! 

Payment/Cancellations

All of your initial deposit (18% percent of total price +tax)(~$350) is non-refundable. Full payment must be made by July 31st, 2026. Any cancellations within 60 days of the workshop will not receive their payment back as it is very difficult to fill the space on that short of notice. If we are able to fill your spot, we will provide you with a full refund, minus the initial deposit. If an emergency arises we will do our very best to work with you as we understand things can happen.

More details will be made available to those who book the workshop or contact us with questions. We can’t wait!! Hope to see you out in the Rockies 🙂
