Are you ready to turn your hobbies into a business?
Hike to some of the most stunning mountain lakes on the planet for a memorable sunrise. I will show you great locations for setting up for fantastic photos of Dream and Emerald Lakes (and if we have time, Nymph Lake as well).
I offer suggestions for photo composition as we go, and can also offer photo instruction on camera settings for those that would like some pointers.
Don't have a RMNP entrance reservation? No need! My commercial use permit means you don't need a timed entry permit if you are with me!
