p.1 #1 · Last Minute late Sept Landscape Trip w/Guide - Suggestions?


I find myself with a free week (9/22-9/29) and a hankering for a plane ticket and a new experience.... looking to do a landscape photography workshop or hire a guide. I'm on the east coast in NY - thinking about something like Glacier National Park or Acadia or something where I might start to see some fall colors. Any recommendations of a particular location and guide or workshop that I can look into would be appreciated!!!

Most workshops worth anything are typically booked months in advance. You might luck out with a cancellation.

I’m not exaclty an expert on Maine, but I think that’s a bit early for good color there, at least based on a bit off experience in other New England states.

You’d likely see some fall color by then in the right places in parts of Utah and Colorado, I believe.

You might want to filter your candidate locations to those not experiencing severe drought conditions.

Glacier National Park is beautiful that time of year and generally most things are still open. You don't really need a guide to find plenty of good locations.

Of course it is Montana and bad weather can come at any time. This time of year it only usually affects a couple of days.

MDI does not really hit peak color till late October. If you are locked into that date range I'd head to the high altitude west...

Dave Soldano is reasonable and he hosts a great workshop in Colorado.

Hi Dan!
My brother lives off the Coast of Maine(Rockland) on the island of Vinalhaven. I just called him and the leaves are de-greening but no color yet.
The crowds are gone and peace has returned to the Island.
I found this website on Acadia:
https://bridgetstephenson.com/acadia-national-park-fall-foliage/

The photos posted here by "adventurephoto"@Scott show Colorado in color! Beautiful!!
"Go West young man..."Horace Greely.

My sister-in-law lives in Wyoming near the Tetons and she sez the color is starting there also.
Have a GREAT trip and get those photos posted upon your return!"
