Mission

Walk amongst fallen petrified trees that once stood next to dinosaurs. Meander through valleys of hoodoos, and formations like you've never seen. This are changes almost daily. The wind, snow and rain are constantly reshaping this landscape. Join us on this 6 day adventure in this landscape photography playground with 7 other students for a backcountry 4x4 EXPEREINCE!

If you would like help finding a suitable vehicle, please let us know.
