Colorado is home to no less than twenty-six ski resorts such as those in Vail and Breckenridge; other winter activities include snowboarding, sledding, sleigh rides, snow hiking and snowmobiling. The state is blessed with national parks, grasslands and forests where in warmer weather you can enjoy hiking, mountain biking or rock climbing. Wildlife abounds, from bears to moose and raccoons to wolverines. More interested in local history? Head for either the Ute Indian Museum or the Koshare Indian Museum, and don't miss the forts such as Fort Garland and Bent's Old Fort. For a complete change, why not take a ride in a hot air balloon from South Park Valley or Boulder and admire Colorado's picturesque landscape from above?

My guide for the evening tour was Jared. His knowledge of the wildlife and terrain in RMNP is rivaled only by his well-developed skill and delight in sharing it with his guests. He knew the time and locations at which we would likely see moose (and we saw two!). We stopped and observed elk, and I learned to see so many more revealing details than I had imagined (how to tell if females are pregnant, e.g.). He told us all about the habits of the Great Horned Owl, whose nest with three chicks we visited. The spotting scope brought me right into that nest. Then I asked if he knew about the geology, and, even though it's not his primary domain, he pointed out features of the granite that is in the whole Front Range. But the highlight of my tour was the very close-up visit to a wall of schist with petrified sandstone bubbles in concentric circles. Awesome and memorable. Oh, and the van was comfortable, with heated seats and a full roof skylight. Jared is accommodating and considerate of the kind of experience each guest wants. Highly recommended.

I can also offer photo instruction for those that would like some pointers. Don't have a RMNP entrance reservation? (new this year) No need! My commercial use permit means we don't need an advance permit!
Inclusions: snack bars and water for filling your refillable water bottles. Please bring at least 1.5 liters (48 OZ) of water for the hike.
Exclusions: Park entrance - bring your national parks pass, or receipt from previous entry into RMNP
It was such a pleasure to spend a few days with Colin in Moab. He knew all the best places to go and the right time to be there. I also appreciated that he was very flexible with the shooting locations. At the last minute we had to bring our dog with us so Collin arranged for photo shoots at some areas outside of the national parks where we could bring the dog. I would highly recommend this trip. If you are wanting to up your photography skills, Collin is definitely the one to help.

We will explore and photograph the appropriately named Wild Basin in Rocky Mountain National Park. We will hike along the North Saint Vrain Creek, and stop along the way to photograph several waterfalls (including Copeland Falls, Calypso Cascades and Ouzel Falls). Bring your tripod and a polarizer filter, and I will demonstrate my techniques for capturing waterfalls and other moving water in a variety of lighting conditions, and help you capture great silky water photographs. The full hike to Ouzel Falls is about 5.5 miles (9 km) round trip, with just under 1,000' elevation gain. For those not able to do the full hike, we will do a more leisurely hike to Calypso Cascades (about 3.6 miles round trip, and about 700' of elev. gain), which still takes you deep into a beautiful area, with multiple falls, and wildflowers and fall color in season. Don't have a RMNP entrance reservation? (new this year) No need! My commercial use permit means we don't need an advance permit!
Inclusions: Private transportation, Snacks, Park entrance reservation
Exclusions: Park entrance fees - bring a national park pass or receipt for entrance.

Amazing time with Jeremiah, “JJ”, with the great fortune of a snowy day but roads perfectly clear. We had the extra bonus of seeing a moose and her calf with the pristine snow as the backdrop. Jeremiah gave the perfect amount of information without it feeling overwhelming. Highly recommend this tour. Great overview of the park with opportunity for short walks to breathe the fresh mountain air and experience the views. Thanks Jeremiah for a great start to our mini vacation!

We booked a Localgrapher for a couples shoot in Arizona. The results were okay at best, and we regretted not seeking out an established local in the area. For the price, we received 60 very average choices and the ability to select 35 shots. We couldn’t even find 35 framed correctly. The localgrapher website is also a joke which requires a youtube video to figure out. The UI is terrible and the photos will disappear rapidly so do not wait to download (set aside a couple hours - that’s how bad it is). But really, just avoid. Hire someone directly.
