Summer Solstice Photo Hike

Bring your iPhone or Android phone and we’ll talk about composing with the “Tool of Thirds” when composing landscape shots.

🥾 Experience: This is a hike. The route goes out and returns the same way for a total of 3.6 miles, give or take, with an elevation gain around 800’. We will pause for photo opportunities. You are responsible for your own safety. Route map.

🌤️ Weather: This hike usually has ideal conditions for glorious sunsets, but I can’t guarantee great lighting under clear skies. We’ll photography what we see.
