Yosemite Valley is probably the most picturesque National Park in the United States. The very best time to capture this unique landscape is mid-February when the gorgeous landscape is bathed in a magical warm light and often accentuated with light snow. And...this is the only time of year you can capture the Fire Fall Event at Horsetail Falls.

Join APT for a bucket-list photography adventure. We will take you to the most scenic locations at just the right times to capture them when they are the most beautiful. We will also take you to some less known areas, but are just as beautiful. Of course we will share tips and insights on how to perfectly capture this magnificent landscape.

APT will also ensure you are at a prime location, at just the right time, to capture the phenomenon of the Fire Fall Event. During these few days in February, when the conditions are just right, the warm evening light hits the granite face of El Capitan in back of Horsetails Falls at just the right angle to make the waterfall glow. It is a natural show like no other. There will be a flat road hike of approximately 1-1.5 miles each way from parking to the viewing location for the event.

The price for this adventure is $2695.00. That includes LODGING (double occupancy), travel to and from the Sacramento airport and all travel in and around the park. Airfare and meals are NOT INCLUDED. A single occupancy option is available for an addition fee of $800.00.

The light moves fast, so you will receive photo tips sheets in advance to ensure you're ready to capture these beautiful scenes when the light is hitting just right. After the workshop, you'll receive video tutorials demonstrating how we post-process the images we captured.
