The San Luis Valley of Colorado is a photographer’s dream. Whether you carry a cell phone or a
telephoto lens, this part of Colorado has many iconic photographic destinations. The Great Sand Dunes
National Park is one of the most picturesque places in Colorado, but it’s not the only place to nab killer
photos. The Monte Vista and Alamosa Wildlife Refuges make for great wildlife viewing and the open
expanse of earth and sky make for striking landscapes. Blanca Peak towers over the valley at 14,344 feet
high. The back roads are covered in open farm scenes with New Mexico border towns littered with old
adobe buildings and ruins. The easterly end of the Cumbres & Toltec steam train railroad is in Antonito,
CO and the farmlands west of the station make for great 1800’s looking western images. San Luis,
Colorado is the oldest town on Colorado and is home to the Stations of the Cross Shrine.

great memories and stunning photos to share with friends and family. I try to provide very casual and
easy going photo tours of my beautiful New Mexico along with enough camera and image education
along the way to provide the participants the tools and scenes to head back home with some beautiful

Tours Information
Full day tours are roughly 8+ hours long depending upon the time of year. I try to end each full day tour around sunset to hopefully finish the day with a bang. A lunch for the entire group at a restaurant along our route is included in the full day pricing. I also bring water and snacks.
Half day tours are 4-5 hours long. We can start either in the morning or afternoon depending upon your preference. Most of my prior tours have ended at sunset because of the nicer afternoon light in this area. No lunch is included in this option. I do bring water and snacks.
I will offer camera help and image composition suggestions to those that request it throughout the day, so do not be shy about asking. My tours are focused on introducing you to the beauty of Northern New Mexico and Southern Colorado….places off of the beaten track. My intent is that you have a fun day of discovery as we explore my favorite part of the world.
I require a deposit of $50 per person per day. Multiple days will be a multiple of the $50 deposit fee.
