Mountain Goats |
$1,195 Flight Destination: Denver, CO |
Get up-close to mountain goats as another summer season is in full swing on 14,000 foot Mt. Evans. Month-old baby goats add their playful activities to the setting. We will also have a morning shoot at a bristlecone pine forest as well as have the chance to photograph bighorn sheep, marmots, pika and some magnificent mountain landscapes as well as a morning trip to photograph a very nice cascade. |
The goats on Mount Evans are very used to people and you can expect to find them in some very interesting situations. Sit down near one and you may find yourself surrounded by a group. Don't be surprised if while you're set up if a goat comes around the corner and walks within a couple of feet of you, making close-up shots of these high mountain mammals a sure thing.

 | Each year is different on this trip and at times there might be as many as six or more newborns playing with each other that will keep you quite entertained. Parent / baby interaction is also common making for tender moments. With being at 14,000 feet, the mountain landscape photos are worth the drive to the top by themselves. The road to the top is the highest paved road in North America, an experience in and of itself. Both sunrises and sunsets can be spectacular from up there. No matter what time of year Mount Evans is visited, the surrounding mountaintops will have snow on them offering up some great mountainscape images.

A shoot at a 2,000 year-old bristlecone pine forest will provide some great studies in textures and details of these beautiful trees. This trip entails daily drives up a high-altitude winding road so those with health concerns or fear of roads with sheer drop-offs should take note of this prior to registering. Trip drivers have years of experience with these roads so you can feel safe in their hands. |  |
