We’ll explore some of the best sites for astrophotography in Arches National park! I’ll pick you up at 7:30pm and we’ll head to the park for an unforgettable time, including photos of a beautiful sunset, and then we’ll setup for some Milky Way goodness. Along the way I’ll provide as much personalized instruction and tips as you’d like to take your photography to the next level.

I’ll have an optimal itinerary ready to go for us, however, I’m happy to customize our plans to ensure we make it to any specific sites, etc. No extra charge for any custom planning, so feel free to email me with any requests.
