You’ll leave with memory cards full of images, new skills, and a deeper connection to the wild spirit of the American West.

Please note: Road conditions in the areas the wild horses inhabit can change quickly, especially after rain or snow. While the primary access routes to the wild horse ranges are typically drivable, wet weather can make them muddy and impassable. If conditions prevent us from reaching the horses, we have backup plans if so, including photographing the surreal landscapes of the Bonneville Salt Flats. Our guide will monitor the weather and road status throughout the trip to ensure safety while maximizing photographic opportunities. Flexibility is key—and we’ve got stunning alternatives no matter what Mother Nature brings.
