The Crystal Mill is a classic Autumn landscape destination | San Juan Mountains Autumn Landscape Safari

Landscape Photography is about Locations and Light: Colorado is a target Rich Location

 
Safari Information Reservations Guide: Brent Paull
Wow.  The San Juan Mountains in Colorado are amazing.  We travel to the San Juan Mountains around Telluride, Ouray, and Durango. We spend time exploring many of the well-maintained dirt roads into the San Juan National Forest as well as shooting the iconic Red Mountain Mining District.

We finish the final day in Mesa Verde National Park, photographing the Cliff Palace and other Indian Ruins, and hopefully the huge mule deer bucks and wild horses.

Difficulty Level : Easy

We literally are shooting all day and have to force ourselves to stop for meals.  The light is never bad, and there lots of mining ruins.

For those not traveling with me we usually meetup in Ouray.  If you intend to fly-in to the safari or back from it, I would suggest Grand Junction, CO as the arrival/departure airport, both for the airfare price and car rentals.  

The deposit is 50% via check,
Paypal (brentrpaull@hotmail.com),
Venmo (@brentpaull), or credit card, and the balance is due halfway between the deposit date and the safari date unless you are booking within 3 months, then full payment is due.

I've spent my 40-year wildlife photography career shooting in the American West.  I lead safaris  to the best locations, at the best times, during peak wildlife activity periods.
