I have been wanting to get back to the Olympic Peninsula for awhile now, I love it there. The rain forest and lush greens call me in a way like the mountains do. Our mantra for this trip: Fear no light and embrace the chaos…
This trip is a great add-on to my Palouse workshop.
Dates: May 18-22 , 2023
Price: $1899.00/Limit 8
Join Denise Ippolito and local naturalist Roy Kropp and talented ONP photographer Jim Hagen for a five day photo adventure through three distinct ecosystems; Rain forests, coastal beaches and glaciated peaks. We will experience forests covered in moss and ferns, Big leaf maples, Douglas firs and Sitka spruce. Roosevelt Elk frequent the rain forests and are visible from the trails. Waterfalls and cascades galore. On the coast we will photograph sunsets, ocean sea stacks, and tide pools. Join me to photograph the amazing “Green Machine” of Washington State.
Our tentative schedule includes locations such as: Sol Duc Falls, The Hoh Rain Forest, Second Beach, Rialto Beach and Crescent Beach, Hurricane Ridge, Salt Creek, Madison Falls, Upper Dungeness, Marymere Falls, Moments in Time Trail and more.
Participants should be physically fit and able to walk at least two miles at one time, most trails are level and easy with some being a little but more rugged but still very doable. We will not be walking at a fast pace since photography is our goal-not hiking.
A detailed PDF file will be sent upon registration.
Meet & Greet at 12:00 noon at our hotel on May 18th. (address and details given at sign-up).
Our bases for this trip are: Port Angeles and Forks, Washington. Participants should plan to fly into Seattle Washington and drive to Port Angeles, Washington.
Workshop ends, it is best to plan your flights home in the morning of the 23rd or late evening of the 22nd.
*Please note meals, lodging, transportation and park fees are not included in the price of the workshop.
