Eastern Idaho Photo Workshop and Tour
Explore Eastern Idaho and some of the most rugged and beautiful terrain near the Idaho/Montana/Wyoming borders.
Thursday, May 28 to Monday, June 1, 2020
Eastern Idaho is known to be an adventurers Mecca. Its towering mountains, pristine and beautiful rivers and streams, and vast expanses of open land create a landscape where there is something for everyone.
Much like the rest of the state, there is a vast variety of landscapes and environments packed into relative proximity with each other. The area has a very obvious volcanic history with its dormant volcanoes poking out of the flatlands, caves and hot springs seemingly everywhere, and rocky outcroppings creating dramatic viewpoints over the valleys and rivers. One doesn't have to drive far to find beautiful pine forests and pristine mountains streams. There are also massive sand dunes deposited by the persistent winds blowing across the flat lands for thousands of years. As if that wasn't enough, the area is absolutely overflowing with wildlife of all shapes and sizes!
Join professional outdoor photographer Chris Celentano on the type of adventure he is known for;exploring off-the-beaten-path places.
