Every photographer has that trip they've promised themselves they'll take "someday." But someday has a way of turning into next year, and before long, another season has slipped away.

Right now, many of our final 2026 workshops are approaching departure, and the remaining openings are disappearing just as quickly. In just a matter of weeks, photographers from around the world will be standing beneath vibrant fall foliage, watching incredible wildlife at eye level, and capturing images they've dreamed about for years.

If one of these destinations has been sitting on your bucket list, don't let this season pass you by. Choose your adventure, reserve your spot, and join us while there's still time to experience the unforgettable moments waiting behind the lens!

1. Southwest Monsoon: Arches & Canyonlands

The desert comes alive during monsoon season, creating some of the most dramatic conditions photographers can hope for. Towering thunderheads, vibrant rainbows, striking shafts of light, and moody skies transform the iconic red rock landscapes of Arches and Canyonlands into extraordinary scenes.

From sunrise at Delicate Arch to sweeping canyon vistas and intimate sandstone formations, this workshop is designed to take advantage of the Southwest's most photogenic, and often overlooked, season. If you've only experienced these parks under blue skies, you'll quickly discover why photographers eagerly anticipate monsoon conditions each year.

Best for: Landscape photographers looking to capture the American Southwest under its most dynamic skies.

2. Badlands & Black Hills

The American West comes alive with dramatic rock formations, sweeping prairie landscapes, roaming bison, bighorn sheep, prairie dogs, and golden light that seems designed for photographers.

​​​​​​​From the rugged beauty of Badlands National Park to the iconic spires of the Black Hills, this workshop blends wildlife, landscapes, and night photography into one unforgettable experience.

Best for: Landscape photographers, wildlife enthusiasts, and anyone wanting to photograph the spirit of the American West.

3. Nome Wildlife Safari: Musk Ox & Arctic Birds

Few photographers ever make it to Nome, Alaska. Those who do are rewarded with one of North America's most unique wildlife destinations. Photograph prehistoric-looking musk oxen, colorful Arctic birdlife, expansive tundra, and remote coastal landscapes far from the typical tourist route.

This workshop offers a rare chance to build an image portfolio unlike anyone else's.

Best for: Wildlife photographers looking for truly uncommon subjects.

4. Spirit of the West: Cowboys & Western Ranches

Experience authentic ranch life through your camera. From working cowboys and horseback riding to dusty corrals, golden sunsets, and genuine western culture, this workshop tells a story that feels timeless.
​​​​​​​
Whether you're interested in documentary photography, portraits, or action, you'll find incredible moments unfolding around every corner.

5. Colorado Fall Colors

Aspen groves transform into rivers of brilliant gold while mountain peaks begin collecting their first dusting of snow. Waterfalls, winding roads, historic mining towns, and colorful forests create endless opportunities for stunning compositions.

If fall color photography is on your bucket list, this workshop delivers some of the season's finest landscapes.

Best for: Landscape photographers chasing peak autumn color.

6. Canadian Rockies in Fall

Turquoise lakes, towering peaks, wildlife, and glowing larch trees combine to create one of North America's most spectacular autumn destinations. Crisp mountain mornings often bring dramatic reflections and atmospheric conditions that make every sunrise worth the early alarm.

It's easy to see why photographers return to the Canadian Rockies year after year.

Best for: Mountain landscapes, wildlife, and iconic Canadian scenery.

7. Ultimate Northern Lights

The aurora is one of nature's greatest spectacles, and there are few experiences more rewarding than watching the sky erupt with ribbons of green, purple, and crimson overhead.

Combined with expert instruction on photographing the Northern Lights, beautiful winter landscapes, and comfortable accommodations, this workshop is designed to help photographers come home with images they've dreamed about for years.

Best for: Bucket-list travelers and night sky photographers.

8. Yosemite Fall Colors

Autumn offers a quieter side of Yosemite. Cottonwoods and oaks turn brilliant shades of gold while waterfalls, granite cliffs, and peaceful meadows create classic California landscapes without the peak summer crowds.

With fewer visitors and beautiful seasonal light, it's one of the best times to photograph one of America's most iconic national parks.

Best for: Landscape photographers wanting Yosemite at its most peaceful.

9. Bull Moose Workshop: Winter Wildlife

Winter transforms New England into a snowy wilderness where massive bull moose become the stars of the landscape. Frost-covered forests, fresh snowfall, and soft winter light create intimate wildlife portraits that simply aren't possible during other seasons.

This specialized workshop focuses on patience, fieldcraft, and photographing one of North America's most impressive mammals.

Best for: Wildlife photographers who love winter conditions.

10. Yellowstone: Lamar Valley in Winter

Snow-covered bison, foxes hunting through fresh powder, elk, bighorn sheep, and the possibility of wolves make winter in Yellowstone unlike anywhere else in the world.

Lamar Valley becomes a photographer's dream, where steam rises from geothermal features and wildlife thrives against dramatic snowy backdrops. The quieter season also means fewer crowds and more opportunities to slow down and focus on creating exceptional images.

Best for: Wildlife photographers and anyone wanting to experience Yellowstone at its wildest!
