Come Join Us: Thursday~Sunday, 22~25 October 2026: Autumn Light in the Eastern Sierra

We just finalized the dates, and you can sign-up now for this usually sold-out tour:

Arboreal Cathedral of Aspens, Lower Rush Creek Loop, June Lake, California

Cathedral of Aspens, June Lake, California, Friday, 24 October 2025.

Join us on our annual (and usually sold-out) photo tour to the east side of the massive Sierra Nevada Mountains. We'll turn our creative eyes on Bodie, the greatest ghost town in the West, with over 500 structures still standing. We'll look for - and even learn how to create - autumn color in the mountains. We will also visit spectacular and eerie Mono Lake, with its strange salt towers rising out of the water.

During this spectacular time of year we can expect to find our various locations with relatively few other people. The sun, low in the autumnal Heavens, will allow us hours of good light each day, in a part of California that is among the most beautiful places on earth.
