Nature Photography Snowshoe Trek

February 23, 2023 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm


Cost: $10

Guided Snowshoe Treks in Lake Tahoe on the Tahoe Rim Trail

Description

Explore the winterized beauty of Lake Tahoe through your camera lens on this educational snowshoe trek with your tripod. Bring your camera (fancy or not, smartphones OK!) and join photography buffs, Sharell Katibah and Lizzie Flower, to learn how to truly capture the resting evergreen landscape blanketed under the Sierra snow. While traveling to Page Meadows, your guides will show you the basics of photography so you all can capture that perfect insta-worthy shot or next year’s holiday card cover.

What to Expect

TRTA outings are group outings, and we do our best to keep the group together. Trip leaders dedicate a great deal of their time throughout the year sharing their passion for the outdoors. They are well-trained and experienced. Please respect the decisions made on the trail.
