For our private Half-Day Elk Viewing Photo Tour, we’ve put together a trip that takes you about an hour west of Asheville out to Great Smoky Mountain National Park to see the elk herds in the scenic valley near the Tennessee border. Everyone seems to really love this tour. Our Elk Photo Tours are very adventurous and sure to please. This tour focuses less on learning photography and more on capturing the elk but if you’re interested in learning, we’ll teach some along the way!
