Weminuche
Wilderness Workshop - July 16-20
Whoa
nellie! What's this - we're gonna saddle up? You bet. We
will once again ride with Over the Hill Outfitters to their
high camp in the spectacular Weminuche Wildnerness.
At
just a whisker under 500,00 acres, the Weminuche is the largest
wilderness in the state of Colorado and roughly two thirds
the size of the state of Rhode Island.
The
wilderness designation prohibits motorized vehicles. That
means no four wheel drives, atvs, motorcycles or even bicycles.
You either hike it or hoof it.
This
is a fabulous opportunity to photograph alpine wildflowers,
rugged mountain
landscapes,
waterfalls, glacial
lakes, and,
of course, authentic wranglers and horses.
Our
guides will pamper us with all meals, tents, and sleeping
gear. Don't worry about having to skimp on your camera
kit. Pack horses will carry our gear to camp.
You
need not be an experienced rider to
enjoy this trip. Randy has a stable of gentle, well trained
horses. But, if you really don't like to ride, I'm sure
he can rustle up one that really doesn't like to be ridden.
Camp
is at 10,500 feet above sea level and that we may ascend
to as high as 12,500, and the views are incredible!
The
US Forest Service restricts the number of heartbeats on
a guided pack trip to 25; this includes horses, riders,
squirells in your pocket - whatever. Please call us at
the studio 970-247-2415 with your questions.
Class
is limited to 8 participants.
The
workshop is booked directly through the outfitter, here's
the link.
