We arrived home recently from my annual Fall Color shoot.  We hit just past peak fall colors, but the weather was spectacular. As were my fellow travelers. This was Jena’s first trip “up north” to Interior Alaska. Also joining us was Scott Slone of Alaska HDTV. Jena and I had planned on spending the full 8 days on the road, but the colors shifted so quickly that we headed home early. We will do local day trips whenever possible though, to find nearby “pockets” of color that have yet to mature.

I was very happy to meet with a few family owned lodges that will be hosting my Alaska Photo Tours (AdvenTours) next year, and in the years ahead. Wow… that’s all I can say. I was blown away by their hospitality and comfort in remote regions. We will NOT be lacking in facilities. After this years scouting trip, and speaking with the lodge owners, I am changing my schedule a little for a few of the upcoming workshops. This should help our chances of being on location for perfect timing to coincide with peak conditions for our subjects. It pays to stay flexible and open to new opportunities.

So, with that in mind. I’m breaking up my Alaskan Fall Color Grand Tour into two separate tours. The first tour will run from August 25th – September 1st, 2011, and is called the Denali Highway Fall Color Tour. It is poised to take advantage of the amazing fall colors on the tundra and the more than abundant wildlife. I saw at least 100 caribou on this past trip. The second tour will run September 4th – September 9th, 2011, and is called the Southern Alaska Fall Color Tour. It will focus on the amazing autumn landscapes along the Richardson and Glenn Highways. Rugged mountains, towering waterfalls, brilliant aspens, and roaring glaciers. Each tour will be limited to only 5 clients. All logistics while on tour are included – lodging (in amazing and remote settings!), meals (starvation will NOT be a factor), and transportation (small group = more space & no crowding). Another option I’m working on and will have more info on shortly, involves my Aurora Tour. Things may be changing on this front too, in VERY exciting ways. I’ll still be offering the Aurora and Winter Landscapes Tour, but I’m considering changing it to December . In addition, I am in talks to add a second Aurora Tour in a completely different location and with an exciting new option for transportation. That’s all I’m going to say for now. Yes, I’m a tease. Deal with it. Believe me, it’s worth the wait! You can go on a tour with a dozen (or more) other people to already crowded vistas, or you can travel in a small group to locations unspoiled by tripods, uncluttered with people, and views second to none. These tours are very exciting & I can’t wait to spill the proverbial bean(s)…

I’ll have more details on all of these tours shortly. If you are interested in being added to the “short list” for these tours, contact me. Asap.

Stay tuned.
