Join me for a 5 day trip exploring the often overlooked desert landscapes of Oregon. When nature  photographers think of Oregon state, they mostly imagine the waterfalls, coastlines, or verdant forests. However, tucked away across these areas are high deserts that rival scenes you would find in Death Valley, the Badlands, the Canyonlands of Utah, and more. The Pacific Northwest abounds with dry cracked playas, massive sandstone formations, striated clay hills, and wildflowers blooming under vertical peaks. 

 

This is a trip designed for a small group of just three guests. We'll spend our days off the beaten paths while pointing cameras at some of the most beautiful and unexpected landscapes in the United States. As most of these locations are away from towns, highways, and modern creature-comforts, this is a camping based excursion. But if you are not the worlds most prepared "camper" you have nothing to fear... all camping gear can happily be provided for you if you don't have your own.

Local transportation

Transport to/from PDX airport

Backup outdoor and camera gear available

As much in-field and post-production guidance as you'd like (during and after our trip)
