About this trip
Experience Colorado's most dramatic landscapes with a wildlife biologist and professional photographer as your guide. These private afternoon trips are designed for photographers and outdoor enthusiasts who want more than a trailhead — intimate access, expert natural history interpretation, and a sunset you won't forget.
The tallest sand dunes in North America are extraordinary at any hour — but late afternoon light transforms them into something otherworldly. As an NPS-permitted guide, I'll take you beyond the obvious angles to compositions most visitors never find, while sharing the ecology and geology that make this landscape one of the most unusual in the American West.
Your afternoon includes:
Private guided photography instruction tailored to your skill level
Access to the best light and locations for the conditions that day
Natural history interpretation from a professional wildlife biologist
A picnic dinner on the dunes at sunset
Flexible pace — this is your trip
