With spring just around the corner, we've added four Awe-Inspiring Oregon photo tours to our all-star 2021 lineup. Two Awe-Inspiring Oregon photo tours are available in May 2021 and two more in September 2021. These all-inclusive Oregon photography tours feature spectacular locations, gorgeous Pacific Northwest waterfalls, award-winning hotels, great food, private transportation, and free spa services. There are only 4 spots available on each tour so you receive plenty of one-on-one instruction to take your landscape photography skills to the next level. Lightroom instruction is also included to improve your digital workflow and make editing much easier.
One of the locations we explore is White River Falls, a beautiful and oddly out of place two-tiered waterfall that flows through a colorful, rocky gorge. There's also an abandoned hydroelectric power station on site that used to power the region's flourishing farmland and it provides a nice contrast to the natural beauty. We also explore a few of the Seven Wonders of Oregon including Smith Rock, which is a towering mountain of basalt, ash and tuff formations. The casually flowing Crooked River caresses the base of Smith Rock and hiking trails are plentiful.
Moving to the westside of Oregon, we tap into some of Oregon's best waterfalls including Abiqua Falls, Butte Creek Falls, and several stunning cascades at Silver Falls State Park. Abiqua Falls is one of the most incredible locations I've ever experienced. The falls are located on private property but are publicly accessible via a difficult to find trailhead. The 92' tall waterfall is surrounded by a colorful basalt amphitheater and is a sensational reminder of how fortunate we are to live on such a magnificent planet.
Butte Creek Falls, while not as tall as tall as Abiqua Falls, delivers its own incredible display with a wide, 26' tall cascade plunging over a basalt ledge that creates a shallow cave behind the falls that's easily accessible.
Silver Falls State Park, known as the crown jewel of the Oregon park system, delivers a plethora of fantastic waterfalls and we explore seven of them while meandering on the Trail of Ten Waterfalls.
After exploring those Oregon waterfalls, we head north to the world-famous Columbia River Gorge, which is the second of the Seven Wonders of Oregon that we photograph on these incredible photo tours. Along with soaking up the Gorge's scenic beauty, we photograph Oregon's most famous waterfall, Multnomah Falls, a towering 620', two-tiered cascade that is simply breathtaking.
